Climate change has a real impact on communities here in Ireland as well as abroad. Many community groups want to help reduce Ireland's carbon footprint and save money by implementing cost effective energy-saving measures.
As Ireland’s leader Community Loan Finance provider, Clann Credo can help your community climate action project with the finance it needs. Clann Credo is a not for profit charity which considers the impact your project has on your community. We have loaned over €100 million to more than 900 community projects nationwide over the past 20 years.
We now have a special €10m Climate Action Loan Fund to help community groups maximise their impact on Climate Action by providing them with Community Loan Finance.

Bridging Loans
LEADER Grants are paid following submission of receipts for works completed and paid for. Clann Credo can provide you with a Bridging Loan to pay for works done on your project allowing you to claim the LEADER Grant. The Clann Credo loan is repaid when your project receives the LEADER Grant.
Match Funding Loans
The LEADER Grant process may require you to show your organisation has sufficient match finance (own funds) to cover the cost of the project. Clann Credo can provide you with a Match Funding Loan if your community group doesn’t have enough reserves to avail of the LEADER Grant. Clann Credo’s repayment terms are flexible.
