Abstract

The National Lottery has operated in Ireland since 1986. It is a significant funder of governmental activities and programmes and of voluntary and community organizations. Despite this, the way in which the lottery operates is not well understood. Partly, this is a feature of the way it is organized and administered, partly because no single government department takes responsibility for its operation. Many voluntary and community organizations are unsure as to where and how to apply for lottery funding as they struggle to provide vital health, social and community services. This guide is an attempt to bridge these gaps in information. First, it explain how the lottery operates and how government departments, semi-State bodies and agencies and local authorities spend lottery money. Second, the guide lists those parts of lottery funding which are open to voluntary and community organizations to apply. It is intended that this guide complement existing funding guides already in circulation. This guide is published at the same time as a major research project on the national lottery called The national lottery - ten years on (National College of Industrial Relations, 1995). Readers interested in learning more about the history and operation of the lottery should consult the research report.
