Do you think your organisation could contribute to raising environmental awareness in your community?
If so, you may be entitled to co-funding from the Local Agenda 21 Environmental Partnership Fund 2011 which encourages partnership projects between local community groups/environmental NGOs and their local authorities.
Selected projects are funded by your local authority and the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government. Preference is given to those projects where a significant amount of the cost of the project is funded by the proposer or from other sources.
Local Agenda 21 encourages greater participation by communities in local decision making for sustainable development. Projects should focus on environmental awareness and action, which complement national environmental policies such as those on Waste, Biodiversity, Climate Change, Sustainable Development etc.
For further information, advice and guidance as to how your project can support Local Agenda 21 as well as an application form, contact: Staff Officer, Environment, Room 238, City Hall, Cork.
Applications forms are available on line from below or by e-mail to environment@corkcity.ie The application is also available on line from the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government’s website at www.environ.ie
Completed applications must be forwarded to Staff Officer, Environment, Cork City Council, Room 238, City Hall, Cork to arrive not later than 5 p.m Wednesday 19th Oct 2011.
