Over the last 40 years, The Ireland Funds have supported nonsprofit organisations across the island of Ireland working in the areas of Arts & Culture, Community Development, Education and Peace & Reconciliation.

Although specific opening / closing dates and guidelines have not yet been confirmed for 2018, interested nonprofits are advised to monitor the Ireland Funds website closely over the coming weeks.
Available details are as follows:
