Creative Youth Grant Scheme
Galway and Roscommon Local Creative Youth Partnership (LCYP), administered by Galway and Roscommon Education and Training Board (GRETB) has grant funding available in 2024 under a Creative Youth Grant Scheme. The scheme supports the development of child and youth creativity in Galway and Roscommon.
Objective
- The intention of this scheme is to support community-driven creative projects that children and young people can access.
- Creative projects supported under this grant scheme can be representative of any creative discipline or be multi-disciplinary in nature.
- Projects must take place at community level and be offered as an opportunity where young people can express themselves creatively and, in doing so, develop their innate creativity as well as their interpersonal and communication skills.
- The aim is that creative projects which emerge are guided by young people in the design, delivery and evaluation of project progress.
The grant scheme supports costs associated with the running of projects that are founded on the needs identified by young people themselves and the youth sector in general. The costs covered include salary costs (fees and wages), venue hire, transport, programme materials and associated running costs of projects. Galway and Roscommon LCYP, in supporting the development of creative opportunities for young people in Galway and Roscommon, is looking to support sustainable and targeted initiatives through the grant scheme.
Grant Amount: Maximum Grant Available €3000
Local Creative Youth grant applications are reviewed on a fortnightly basis, funding awarded based on eligibility and subject to available funding.
