| What is The Ireland
Fund of Canada? |
|
Founded
in 1978 by a group of Irish Canadians including
The Honourable Hilary M. Weston, The Ireland
Fund of Canada is a non-political, non-sectarian,
registered Canadian charity which funds community-level
projects in Ireland, North and South.
An important area of concern in Ireland are
projects that bring young people together to
foster reconciliation and mutual understanding
between the Protestant and Catholic traditions.
The Ireland Funds are in Australia,
Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain, Japan,
China, Monaco, New Zealand and the United States
of America.
They are working with groups in Ireland
to defeat the divisive forces of history. |

- All programmes must meet the requirements
of our mission: The Ireland Fund of Canada,
part of the largest worldwide network of people
of Irish ancestry and friends of Ireland, is
dedicated to raising funds to support programs
of peace and reconciliation, arts and culture,
education and community development, in all
of Ireland and in Canada.
- Grant requests must include a proposal
for the project/programme, the registered
charitable number (this applies for both
Irish and Canadian organizations), budget
for the programme and annual audited operating
budget, any photos or references including
list of Directors for the organization will
help the Grants Committee in its consideration
of the programme. We regret that we cannot
support requests for individuals, sports
clubs, building campaigns, travel expenses
unless they are approved as “Designated
Grants” by the Board of Directors.
Note: We cannot support individual grants outside
of our scholarship programmes or requests for
travel, sports clubs or building campaigns unless
they are approved Designated Grants by the Board
of Directors |

| How do the Funds work? |
For
grants made to Ireland, The Ireland Fund of
Canada receives advice on making grants
from an Irish Advisory Committee in Dublin.
This advisory group, which is made up of 66
individuals from business, the arts and community
groups, reviews and assesses each application
carefully.
The Funds have earned a reputation
for compassion, common sense, good judgement,
and lack of bureaucracy in answering requests. |
|
| How do we raise money? |
You
don't have to be Irish to support the work
of The Ireland Fund of Canada. The Ireland
Fund of Canada raises funds in a variety of
ways. We hold special events across the country,
including our St. Patrick's Luncheons, Annual
Emerald Gala Balls and Golf Tournaments.
Thousands of Canadians, of all backgrounds,
have already become part of a network of people
around the world who share the vision of a
New Ireland - of dynamic people, from both
great Irish traditions, coexisting in a spirit
of peace and prosperity.
We look forward to welcoming you to each
of our events and hope that if you would like
to become a volunteer, organize a Chapter you
will contact us at 416-367-8311 -- The
Ireland Fund of Canada is a dynamic volunteer organization
and its success comes from its dedicated Board
of Directors and Committees |
