Each scheme is open to individuals, non-profit organisations such as environmental NGOs, local community groups, heritage and preservation societies, local authorities, statutory organisations, academic institutions and private companies.

An application may be completed by a professional or other advisor on behalf of a client, but the client is deemed to be the Applicant. All communication will be with the Applicant, and the advisor must provide the Applicant with the log-in details for using the Council's online grants.

The schemes are open to applicants from anywhere in the world but the project work must be carried out in Ireland. Projects based in the republic of Ireland, in Northern Ireland or in both jurisdictions are eligible, but those in the republic will be given priority. References in this document to institutions and legislation in the republic should be taken as encompassing the equivalent institutions and legislation in Northern Ireland; applicants from outside the republic must comply with Irish tax law.
