fatima groups united
A
coalition that aims to lobby for the regeneration of Fatima,
one of Ireland’s poorest communities. Funding supports
research, training, and
programme costs for a three-year project to develop a sustainable
form of art provision suited to the needs of local people.
“
The American Ireland Fund has made a very significant contribution
to our organisation and the wider community of Fatima Mansions
by: responding positively and consistently to project proposals;
providing practical advice and serving as a liaison in respect
of potential donors; engaging directly with the community
in critical discussions around social need and effective
fundraising; and providing positive profiling of Fatima in
publications and other media.”
