It's part of a national €7.4 million fund.
Rural communities in the midlands are set to benefit from over €750,000 in funding.
Laois is the largest beneficiary of the Clár scheme in the region, recieving over €317,000.
Westmeath has been granted 250,000, and Offaly will benefit from over €188,000.
The Clár scheme provides support exclusively to rural areas which have experienced depopulation and certain levels of deprivation.
Nationally, €7.4 million has been granted to 175 community development projects.
Longford Westmeath TD Peter Burke says:
"I am delighted to confirm this morning that five local groups are set to benefit from €250,000 as part of Measure 1 of the CLAR scheme. I have worked with my colleague Councillor Tom Farrell on many of these projects and I am glad to see they have been supported.
These projects will mean these communities and school areas are kept safer for locals and residents to enjoy.
This is measure 1 which provides support for schools and community safety measures. Further rounds of the scheme will be announced later in the summer and these will include funding for outdoor community recreation facilities and community wellbeing measures which include community gardens and allotments as well as mobility, cancer care and first responder transport."
