CLÁR 2026 funding now open for Leitrim community projects

Leitrim County Council has opened its application process for funding aimed at developing community facilities and amenities across rural areas of the county. The scheme offers opportunities for local groups and organisations to secure financial support for projects that would enhance their communities.

Groups interested in applying must submit their applications by 4pm on Thursday 14 May 2026. The council is inviting proposals that would strengthen the social and recreational infrastructure available to residents in rural Leitrim, though specific project categories and funding amounts have not been detailed at this stage.

Community organisations, parish councils, and local groups typically use such funding streams to upgrade meeting spaces, sports facilities, playgrounds, and other amenities that serve their areas. The initiative reflects efforts to support rural development and improve quality of life outside larger towns like Carrick-on-Shannon.

Those with project ideas are advised to contact Leitrim County Council for full details on eligibility criteria, application procedures, and the level of funding available through the scheme.

For complete information on the funding application process, interested parties should consult Leitrim County Council directly.
