About the Community Safety Fund
The Community Safety Fund is an annual grant fund which allows for the proceeds of crime, seized by the Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) and An Garda Síochána, to be directed back into communities, in order to fund innovative local projects aimed at building stronger, safer communities.
Initially called the Community Safety Innovation Fund and launched in 2022 it has supported 127 community safety projects to date all across Ireland.
The fund is managed by the National Office for Community Safety.

The Community Safety Fund:
- Allows proceeds of crime to be directed into community projects to support community safety
- Ensures that the most appropriate proposals to improve community safety will receive the funding they require
- Encourages the development proposals to improve community safety from those people who best understand local community safety needs
- Allows best practice on community safety and youth justice to be shared with other partnerships and communities nationally as new proposals are developed
- Reflects and highlights the success of An Garda Síochána and the Criminal Assets Bureau in seizing the proceeds from criminal activity
