Minister Foley launches applications for €350,000 in Parent and Toddler Group Grants 2026

“This year the focus for the 2026 Parent and Toddler grants is to support groups in providing assistance to young parents and children in establishing connections and to promote the inclusion of families from all backgrounds, abilities and cultures.

The Parent and Toddler Group Grants Initiative 2026, will have only two streams of funding:

  1. Funding of up to €800 will be available for new and existing Parent and Toddler groups that are part of a larger organisation and,

  2. Funding of up to €1,000 will be available for new and standalone Parent and Toddler groups that are not part of a larger organisation. 

Conditions apply and the CCCs are available to discuss requirements with new and existing groups".
