Dublin Airport's 2025 Local School Support Programme has now closed for applications.
Schools are at the heart of all communities, and Dublin Airport’s local communities are at the heart of what we do.
We are committed to giving back to the communities that support us, and Elevate ’25 is another step in that programme of support. Elevate ’25 is a new daa-funded initiative that supports primary and secondary schools in Dublin Airport’s local communities. Its purpose is to help fund transformational projects that benefit students, teachers and the wider school communities.
What kind of projects can be funded?
Schools may apply for two types of grants:
Grants up to €10,000
Grants over €10,000
For awards over €10,000, schools will be required to sign a Project Agreement outlining the project timelines and deliverables.
Project categories include (but are not limited to):
Environment & Sustainability
Educational Supports
Sports & Recreation
Health, Wellbeing & Inclusion
