2014 Sports Capital Programme now open for applications

Hi Everyone,

 

For your information applications for the 2014 Sports Capital Programme are now open as of today.

 

I have outlined below some information that will help you should you need assistance in relation to the programme.

 

 

Sports Capital Programme Information

 

 

OSCAR

For the first time, applications including supporting documentation will only be accepted online.  Applications by post or email will not be accepted and will be returned.

Prior to making an application, there is a need for clubs to register with the Department of Sport’s Online Sports Capital Register (OSCAR) in advance of 5pm  on Friday 7th February 2014.   

Failure to register your club in advance of this date will prevent your club from applying in this round of the programme.

For more information in relation to registering your club with the Department visit;

Maximum Grants Available

The maximum  grant available for local clubs in this round of the programme is €200,000, however, Regional Facilities such as Regional Development Centres and Airtricity League Grounds can apply for a maximum grant of €500,000.

 

Clubs without a Lease or ownership of land

If you do not own your land or have a lease of at least 15 years you may only apply for a maximum of €25,000 towards capital works and/or for sports equipment. However, if in 2012 you received a capital grant towards this site, the maximum combined value of grants  between the two programmes is €25,000.

 

Summary of Documents Required

Below is a summary checklist of what supporting documents clubs will need to supply in order to make an application.  Failure to supply any of these documents will deem an application invalid.
