The Grant Round

The Ireland Fund of Great Britain is dedicated to raising funds to support programmes of peace and reconciliation, arts and culture, education and community development in Ireland and the United Kingdom

Projects based in the Republic of Ireland are supported by The IFGB through restricted donations and these amounted to over half a million pounds in 2004 alone.

The average grant that was distributed as part of our grant round was approximately £3,500 and we have been able to assist over 60 projects.

Our Grant Round is only made possible by the generous donations received by IFGB supporters and through the fundraising events that are held throughout the year.
