Subject: Sport NI announce capital grant
Sport NI yesterday announced that £17.5 million of National Lottery Money would be made available for capital grants over the next 5 years.
The funding will be allocated in three distinct strands:
- Single Facility
- Multi Facility
- Performance Facility
The Single Facility strand has a maximum award of £100,000 and is most suitable for GAA clubs. Although not yet open, it will be the first to open and is expected to open imminently. In the meantime clubs are urged to register their interest through the following link:

Ulster GAA will be holding Funding Advice Clinics to assist clubs in their applications in the coming weeks, and these will be confirmed shortly.
However, we urge clubs to firstly attend the funding workshops which have been organised by Sport NI. See the link:
