Deputy Michael Lowry has shared the news that Tipperary has been awarded €12,500 in grants under the Climate Actions Work Engagement fund.
The grants, ranging from €2,500 to €5,000 will be distributed to 3 Community Groups and Organisations across the Premier County. Tipperary people and visitors to the county will benefit from the activities generated through this fund.
The funding supports groups or organisations working to bring people together and share information on Climate Action. The fund is focused on climate engagement, awareness and communications. It aims to help communities to reach new audiences in their locality. It also provides opportunities for Community Groups to promote their work and spread the message of
community-led climate action.

The fund is administered by Community Foundation Ireland, which, as part of its mission of Equality For All in Thriving Communities, has been empowering local groups, researchers, and advocates to take action on climate and nature since
2000.
The Foundation's work is informed by its 25 years of experience in partnering with 5,000 voluntary, community, and charitable groups as a philanthropic hub, a network that continues to grow.
