“This is a wonderful opportunity for a registered charity in Offaly to receive vital funding and I urge all of those interested to go along to the meeting and see how the process can work for them and those they serve,” said Deputy Nolan.

“There are some conditions however that people should be aware of. These include the fact that charities that received funding in the previous three years are ineligible for nomination while projects related to religious or political activities or where animals are the primary beneficiaries, are also ineligible.”

“Nominations typically open in mid-May and close end-June. They must be nominated by the public and they cannot nominate themselves.”

However, a charity can be nominated multiple times by different individuals thereby increasing its chances of being shortlisted.”
