Notes

Re-verified against the council's current programme page (Aug 2026), which lists more categories than the 'five' originally recorded here: three-year cycle grants — Community Development (up to £5,000/year), Irish Language Activity (up to £6,000/year), and Strategic Events (up to £8,000/year), with that cycle's most recent window closing 27 February 2026; annual grants — Community Infrastructure (£50,000, £100,000 match funding required), Pitches Feasibility (up to 50% of costs, max £10,000), Pitches Infrastructure (£50,000, match funding required), and a Regional Minority Languages Bursary (up to £500, for individuals); and rolling, year-round grants — Sports Representative Individual (up to £250) and Sports Representative Team (up to £500). The original claim that this programme consolidated 17 legacy schemes into five categories, investing over £1,270,000 across 885 applications, could not be re-confirmed on the current page and has been dropped pending further verification rather than repeated unchecked. Recurs; check the council website for the next window on each category.

Requirement

Constituted community, voluntary, sports, and cultural organisations operating within the Mid Ulster District, applying under one of the programme's grant categories.
