A total of 19 Donegal clubs have been awarded grants as part of funding through Ulster GAA’s 2025 Club Infrastructure Development Grant scheme.

The aim of the scheme is to assist clubs in the improvement and development of their physical infrastructure, with capital works completed between 01/10/2023 and 30/09/2025 eligible for support. 

The scheme is funded by both the Central Council and Ulster GAA, with over €3.4m distributed through this scheme over the last four years throughout the province.  

The following areas of development are considered for support:

Purchase of Grounds

Pitch Development

Spectator Accommodation

Pavilion Development

Additional/Sustainable Infrastructure Development

Pitch Verti-Draining

Ulster GAA Treasurer, Michael McArdle, commented: “Our clubs perform exceptional work in providing physical developments for their members and communities, and Ulster GAA is pleased to acknowledge these efforts by supporting this high number of recipients.

The GAA takes pride in the ongoing redistribution of its income to grassroots initiatives across the province. Annually, 83 cents of every euro received is reinvested into clubs to assist in funding developments like infrastructure projects. 

“The financial support offered through this program underscores the ambition and vision of the clubs within our nine counties to enhance facilities for future generations.”
