Sligo BID is seeking proposals to develop projects that will support the growth and diversity of the night time economy in Sligo Town.
Funding is set to be awarded through the Sligo Town Night Time Economy Enrichment and Diversification Grant.
This fund will support applicants who wish to try new and exciting concepts after 6pm between Sunday and Thursday that can support the enhancement, enrichment and diversification of our night time economy.
The Night Time Economy refers to the diverse social, cultural and economic activity occurring during specified evening and night time hours between 6pm and 6am.
Sligo Town has been selected as one of nine pilot towns and cities that has prepared an action plan setting out a range of interventions to support the coordinated development of our night time economy. This is an initiative of the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media.
The Call opens 4th February and closes on the 21st February at 5pm.
The scheme will provide up to 90% of funding for the event(s) or initiative.
The minimum grant award is €500 and the maximum grant award is €1,000. The total grant funding pot of €11.5K is provided by the Sligo Night Time Economy Pilot, which is funded by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media.
