Community Monuments Fund 2024
The Community Monuments Fund (CMF) for 2024 is now open for applications.
The Community Monuments Fund was first established in 2020 to provide investment in Ireland’s archaeological heritage.
Total funding available nationally for projects under Community Monuments Fund 2024 will be €7,000,000.
The Community Monuments Fund will invest essential capital in our valuable archaeological heritage and help owners and custodians of archaeological monuments to safeguard them into the future for the benefit of communities and the public.
The core aims of this Fund are the conservation, maintenance, protection and presentation of archaeological monuments. It will:
- enable conservation works to be carried out on monuments which are deemed to be significant and in need of urgent support
- build resilience in our monuments to enable them to withstand the effects of climate change;
- encourage access to monuments and improve their presentation.
The Community Monuments Fund has 3 streams:
- Stream 1 - will offer grants up to €100,000 for essential repairs and capital works for the conservation of archaeological monuments.
- Stream 2 – will offer grants of up to €30,000 for development of Conservation Management Plans/Reports and detailed Specification of Works aimed at identifying measures for conservation of archaeological monuments and improving public access.
- Stream 3 – will offer grants of up to €30,000 for enhancement of access infrastructure and interpretation (including virtual/online) at archaeological monuments
