UCC Staff Sports & Social Club Grant Fund

The UCC Staff Sports and Social Club makes funding available to UCC staff clubs and societies which are non-for-profit and have been/are being established for the benefit of staff in the university.

Qualifying applications are focused on capital expenditure and costs directly related to the operation of the club/society.

Funding is generally not granted for consumable items, e.g. food, drink, transport or accommodation.

Applications are now open for 2023. To apply for funding, complete the Grant Funding Application Form 2019
