Fortnight left to apply for Lottery funds

THE National Lottery today reminded people across Kerry to get their applications in on behalf of their local sports club, project or organisation in their community for the inaugural National Lottery Good Causes Awards.

The deadline for entries for this competition, which has a total prize pool of €95,000, is less than two weeks away, on Friday July 13.

Individuals, community projects and organisations that received Good Causes funding in the years 2014, 2015 and 2016 are eligible to apply.

Applications for the awards are open and people can enter and check their club or organisation’s eligibility at www. lottery.ie/good-causes-awards.

The awards will have seven categories, with county and regional finals leading up to the Gala Awards Dinner on Saturday November 3.

At the awards, each category winner will receive €10,000 and the overall Good Cause of the Year will receive an additional €25,000 in funding from the Lottery.
