Grants are available to sports clubs, voluntary and community groups, national governing bodies of sport and local authorities. Third level colleges, VECs and schools may also apply for funding jointly with sports clubs.

OSCAR:
The Sports Capital Programme is now online in a system called OSCAR (Online Sports Capital Register).

This will be the only way to apply for grants under any future rounds of the Sports Capital Programme. OSCAR will also allow groups to view previous grants and payments, change contact details, seek payment of a grant and otherwise communicate with the Department online.

Any organisation that wishes to make applications using the system must first register online. This guide will lead users through the registration process.

Step 1 – Get a Tax Registration Number:
** A Tax Registration Number (TRN) is required for all organisations wishing to register on OSCAR. The TRN is the unique identifier for each organisation and is the user name for logging into the system.
** Organisations need written confirmation of their TRN prior to completing the registration process. This confirmation can either be in the form of a tax clearance certificate or a letter from the Revenue Commissioners confirming the TRN. It is not permitted to use the TRN of a national governing body, regional grouping or of a different organisation. If the organisation already has a tax clearance certificate, the TRN is in the top left hand corner of the certificate.
** If the organisation is not a limited company and does not currently have a TRN, obtaining one is simple. Complete the 1 page ‘Registration Form for voluntary non-profit making
** organisations’ and return to the appropriate Revenue Office. It should take around 10 working days to get written confirmation of the TRN.
** If the organisation is a limited company, the form to be completed is Form TR2. In this case, the company must be registered with the Companies Registration Office prior to application for a TRN.

Step 2 – Fill in the online registration form:
Go to www.sportscapitalprogramme.ie and click Register. You can move forwards and backwards through the registration form using the previous and next buttons.
