Deadline for Community Monuments Fund
The Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage is reminding applicants that the deadline for the 2025 Community Monuments Fund is approaching. With €7.4 million available, the fund supports the conservation, maintenance, and promotion of local archaeological monuments and historic sites.
In 2024, the fund supported over 140 projects nationwide. It aims to enhance access, improve climate resilience, and fund urgent conservation works, while providing employment for traditional skills practitioners.
The three streams of this funding support:
- Repairs and capital works.
- The development of conservation management plans.
- Grants for enhancement of access infrastructure and interpretation at archaeological monuments.
Private applicants and/or community groups should submit to their local authority at a date specified by the local authority but not later than 31 January 2025. The local authority will submit their selection to DHLGH by 14 February 2025.
State-funded organisations working in the heritage area should submit any proposals to the department directly – email cmf@housing.gov.ie – on or before close of business on 14 February 2025.
