Application Form
Who can apply?
This grant scheme is open to all paid-up Mountaineering Ireland individual members & clubs with more than 10 members (except those that have already been approved for another Mountaineering Ireland Training Grant in the current membership year). The application should be submitted by the Club Secretary on the official training grant form.
Preference will be given to:
•Clubs that have not previously received a Training Grant
•New clubs
•Training that brings leadership and new skills into a club
•Members that volunteer in youth projects
•Clubs with a high proportion of young members
•Clubs with a larger number of people participating in training
•Clubs that could not otherwise afford such training.
Grant approval:
Applications are reviewed twice a year (typically in June and November) by Mountaineering Ireland’s training board, Mountain Training Board Ireland.
Timing:
Training can be carried out either before or after you receive grant approval, however payment will not be made until after training is completed. We ask that all training should be completed and receipts received within 6 months of grant approval being given so that funds are not tied up for an unduly long period of time.
