Monaghan County Council and Monaghan LCDC, through the Healthy Monaghan programme is seeking expressions of interest for ‘Age Friendly’ funding proposals for the Healthy Ireland Fund 2026.
Monaghan County Council signed up to become an Age Friendly County in September 2011. An Age Friendly County is a place where more and more older people can lead healthy and active lives, get to where they want to go, and are valued contributors to the lives of their communities.
The Healthy Monaghan programme has two main Outcome Areas:
1. Increase the % of adults & children meeting physical activity guidelines.
2. Decrease the number of people showing negative mental health.
All proposals submitted for consideration must clearly demonstrate that the actions planned align to one or both of those Outcome Areas.
The minimum amount of funding available per proposal is €1,000 and the maximum amount available is €2,000.
Proposals must demonstrate that they will be multi-week/multi-event in nature. No one-off events will be considered. All proposals must be completed by the 30.09.2026.
Only 1 funding proposal per organisation/group will be considered.
In order to be eligible, you must be from a not-for-profit community organisation (i.e. local community centre or local development association or similar group).
