Community Organisation Loans Scheme

The loans scheme is designed to assist not-for-profit organisations to improve or develop new or existing sport, recreation or community facilities. This is the only category where applications for facility capital works development can be considered. Loans are for a maximum of 10 years (normally five years) and at 2% interest per annum. Organisations which have the ability to repay loans are encouraged to apply for this means of assistance for major capital projects.

Note: To be eligible for a loan the applicant must be a legally constituted not-for-profit organisation and must have provision in its constitution to borrow money.

Closing dates
Twice annually. Applications close on 31 May 2008 and 30th September 2008.
