New Children’s Disability Grant Fund

In Local Disability Services, News, Recreation & Social by DB_Admin

If you offer services or support to children with a disability, you can apply for funding under a new grant scheme – the closing date for applications is Monday, 20th November 2023.

Grants are open to a number of organisations, including community groups and service providers. The children your organisation serves must be on a waiting list for Children’s Disability Network Team services.

Funding will be awarded at the end of November 2023. You can apply for funding for up to 3 years, to the end of 2026.

An approved service providers list will be set up based on successful applications, from which the Children’s Disability Network Managers will draw down supports for their CDNTs’ waitlisted children and families based on prioritised needs.

Successful projects will need to:

  • add value to existing HSE children’s disability services
  • state the expected benefit to children
