Dublin Airport Community Fund
Your ideas, Our Support
Dublin Airport's Community Fund is currently closed for applications.
The Fund supports local projects that make a positive contribution to our neighbouring communities.
We will support applications from organisations located in the following areas:
Ballymun • Cloghran • Forrest Little • Greater Baskin • Hollystown • Malahide • Portmarnock • Rolestown • Santry • St. Margarets • Swords • The Ward • Tyrrelstown
We are interested in working with communities on developing initiatives around, for example, environmental and sustainability, health and wellbeing and social inclusion.
Dublin Airport Local Community Access Scholarship
We have partnered with Dublin City University (DCU) to provide scholarships through DCU’s Access Service, to those students that may be marginalised in our community, giving them a unique opportunity to access third level education.
The Community Fund will also support up to 40 students per year to enable them to attend DCU via its Access Programme. To find out more about the DCU Access Service, you can visit its website on www.dcu.ie/access
Community Fund Logo/Branding
Successful applicants will need Dublin Airport Community Fund’s logo to promote support of their initiative, which will be included in the subsequent Outcome Report mentioned above. This promotion could take the form of pitch-side signage, club jerseys or kits, garden benches or allotment signs, group websites, newsletters, social media, etc. Print and digital versions of the Community Fund logo are available below. Please read the Dublin Airport Community Fund Toolkit before using our logos. The Brand Toolkit will tell you all you need to know about which logo(s) to use and how to use them.
If you require any advice or assistance regarding use of the Community Fund’s logo, please contact us at communityfund@daa.ie.
Allocation of Funding

On a beautiful sunny day in Swords, it is easy to see why the team of Swords Tidy Towns enjoy their work so much.
Dublin Airport Community Fund has been a proud supporter of the group for many years with lots of different projects; from the mural at the Swords Garda Station, to the local flower planting areas, and the welcome signs on the roundabout entrances to Swords village.
It is clear to see the efforts the team and volunteers put into the public areas in Swords throughout the village and we are delighted to support such a worthwhile community initiative that really benefits all who live in the area.
