CLÁR 2025
Donegal County Council are now seeking Expressions of Interest from community groups for Measure 1 in relation to project proposals they are seeking to progress within their communities.
CLÁR (Ceantair Laga Árd-Riachtanais) is a targeted investment programme for rural areas that aims to provide funding for small infrastructural projects in rural areas that have experienced significant levels of de-population.
The CLÁR Funding Scheme 2025 will be delivered under three separate Measures as follows:
Measure 1 - Developing Community Facilities & Amenities
Measure 2 - Mobility, Cancer Care, Community First Responders and Meals on Wheels Transport.
Measure 3 - ‘Our Living Islands’
Measure 1 is administered by Local Authorities in consultation with local communities, will support a variety of capital projects that contribute to the enhancement of existing, and/or the development of new, accessible Community Recreation Facilities.
All community amenities funded under this programme must, in so far as practicable, be accessible to all abilities and ages.
Access to the CLÁR 2025 Scheme Outline is available on our website
Closing Date for receipt of Expressions of Interest is 12 noon on Wednesday 14th May 2025
PLEASE NOTE:
Measure 2 and Measure 3 are administered directly by the Department of Rural and Community Development and Gaeltacht. Details of the Scheme Outline and Application Forms in relation to Measure 2 and Measure 3 are available on the CLÁR page of the Department’s website.
