The National Lottery Good Causes Awards aims to celebrate the inspiring and innovative work being carried out by the thousands of individuals, organisations, groups and sports clubs all over Ireland who benefit from National Lottery Good Causes funding. Projects can win up to €35,000 for their own work in their community.

Open to any arts organisation which received funding through the Arts Council in the years 2014, 2015 and 2016, the awards will involve County and Regional Finals between July and September, culminating in a televised Gala Awards Dinner in the Clayton (Burlington) Hotel in Dublin on Saturday 3 November.  

There are six Awards categories including Arts. Entries will be judged not on the amount received in Good Causes funding but on the impact of the funding on a local community, group or service users.  The overall winning project will receive up to €35,000 to put towards their great work, while category winners will receive €10,000.
