Community groups and organisations in Donegal eligible for funding from Sport Ireland for energy support must have their applications submitted to Donegal Sports Partnership by 5 pm on Thursday, October 19th.
Under Phase III of the Sports Energy Support Scheme (SESS) community-owned sports facilities in Donegal not specifically affiliated with a National Governing Body of Sport (NGB) or who do not currently qualify for the Business Energy Support Scheme (TBESS) or other government schemes can now engage with Donegal Sports Partnership to ascertain if they are eligible to qualify for funding. Sports clubs or facilities affiliated with Sport Ireland and recognised National Governing Bodies of Sport should access support directly through their NGB.
Donegal Sports Partnership is seeking specific energy-related information from community-owned sports facilities between the periods September 1st, 2022 and July 31st, 2023 versus September 1st, 2019 and July 31st, 2020 in order to provide Sport Ireland and the Department of Rural & Community Development with an estimate of costs.
Community organisations who previously received funding support under Sport Ireland Phase II of this scheme are now eligible to apply for increased energy costs for the months of June and July 2023 versus June and July 2020.
Sport Ireland will make an initial assessment on the level of requests and the outcome will be advised to Donegal Sports Partnership in December 2023.
