Decade of Commemorations - Kildare County Council
The Government has designated the period 2013-2023 for a commemorative programme of activities with a special emphasis on 2016 and focussing on five interconnecting themes; Remember, Reconcile, Imagine, Present and Celebrate.
Kildare County Council wishes to support local communities who want to organise dignified and appropriate events to commemorate the 1916 Rising. The 1916 Rising Commemoration Fund has €30,000 to allocate to community-based groups, organisations and partnerships in Kildare to organise events and projects to remember and commemorate this historic event.
Grants of up to €1,000 are available. This does not guarantee that the maximum grant will be awarded. In a small number of cases Kildare County Council may consider allocating higher amounts of funding.
This fund is open to groups or organisations with an interest in history, planning to organise an event/project to commemorate the 1916 Rising.
