Cork County Council Announces the County Cork Heritage Grant Scheme 2025
Cork County Council has opened applications for the County Cork Heritage Grant Scheme 2025. The scheme was established in 2021 to recognise the unrivalled heritage of the county and the numerous community and voluntary groups who actively engage with their local heritage, protecting and promoting it for locals and visitors alike.
Funded by Cork County Council and the Heritage Council, the fund is designed to acknowledge and support Cork County’s many heritage groups in undertaking activities that support the objectives of the County Cork Heritage Plan. In total, 26 groups were awarded funding last year for a range of initiatives including Heritage Week projects, video documentaries, conservation plans, exhibitions, archives, natural heritage projects and heritage publications.
Mayor of the County of Cork, Cllr. Joe Carroll welcomed the return of the scheme saying,
Mayor
Over 100 projects have been supported with a funding allocation of over €125,000 since this scheme was launched in 2021. This level of support is not just an investment in our past, but a recognition of the work being done today by heritage groups throughout the county, to inspire and inform our collective future, these projects are creating a legacy for future generations.
Chief Executive of Cork County Council, Moira Murrell added,

Having a rich heritage and active community groups who safeguard and promote it at local level is a vital part of place making. The County Cork Heritage Grant Scheme demonstrates the Council’s commitment to supporting local heritage and sense of place.
