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.
