Lisduggan Credit Union launches €150,000 Community Development Fund
The funding will be reserved for capital developments and excludes operational costs
Lisduggan Credit Union has announced the launch of its first-ever Community Development Fund, valued at €150,000.
The fund is designed to support local community projects.
“We’ve always been proud to support the groups that make Waterford feel like home,” said Lisduggan Credit Union CEO Joe Bucher.
“But we realised we could do even more. For the first time, we’ve created a dedicated fund of this scale because we want to help your ‘big ideas’ come to life—be it a new community garden, a sensory room, or a sustainable energy project. It’s about people helping people, plain and simple.
“This fund isn't just about figures; it is a celebration of what we can achieve when we work together as a member-owned cooperative.
The credit union is inviting local charities, sports clubs, schools, and voluntary societies to apply for the funding.
The organisations must be located within the parishes of Ballybricken, Holy Family, St. Paul's, Butlerstown, St. Saviour's, Kilmeaden, Kilbarry, Portlaw, and Ballyduff.
The deadline for the applications is May 29.
