Limerick City and County Council is inviting applications for the Community Environment Action Fund 2019 which was previously known as the ‘Local Agenda 21 Environmental Partnership Fund. If you have a project or initiative that could help to increase awareness of environmental issues locally or that could help your community to become more sustainable you may qualify for financial assistance from this fund.

The Community Environment Action Fund promotes sustainable development by assisting small scale, non-profit environmental projects at local level. Potential projects should be in line with national environmental policies in areas such as waste, biodiversity, climate change, air, noise, water or sustainable development.
