Historic Graveyard Grant Scheme 2009
Kilkenny County Council and Kilkenny Borough Council have prepared a scheme to assist community groups/organisations in the management and maintenance of historic graveyards and are now accepting applications for the Historic Graveyard Grant Scheme 2009.
Background
Kilkenny County Council and Kilkenny Borough Council recognise and support the enormous effort which voluntary groups around the county and city undertake to maintain and manage historic graveyards. These graveyards are very important elements of our local communities and are valuable in terms of built, natural and cultural heritage.
The Historic Graveyard Grant Scheme 2009 aims to support community groups/organisations in the management of historic graveyards and encourage best practice in graveyard management.
Who can apply?
Any recognised community group/organisation can apply.
Eligible Projects
Projects eligible for funding in historic graveyards include: graveyard maintenance; graveyard recording schemes; heritage studies of graveyards and management plans.
Advice & Support
A training seminar on historic graveyard management will take place in Spring 2009, organised by Kilkenny Local Authorities. Applicants will be required to attend the training seminar in order to qualify for grant assistance. Details of the training seminar will be published shortly.
