Today is the closing date for applications under the Community Tourism Initiative for the Diaspora.
The initiative builds on the legacy of community involvement in The Gathering, and is a joint partnership between Fáilte Ireland, the 31 local authorities and IPB insurance.
The scheme, which is now in its second year, provides an annual fund of €1m to support local community based events and festivals.
In 2014, 376 local events were supported by the fund.
