galway university foundation
Works to advance the strategic priorities and economic objectives of the National University of Ireland, Galway. Funding is used to support the Community Knowledge Initiative, a broad programme of outreach and civic leadership designed to bring together community engagement and economic endeavor.

“Funding from The American Ireland Fund has enabled NUI, Galway and IRD Kiltimagh to initiate a partnership programme of research, service learning and knowledge-sharing activities. The Community Knowledge Initiative is based on the fundamental principles of putting communities at the centre of debate and educating students for civic engagement.”
