Peace, education, and strong communities do not happen by chance. They grow when people come together and give support.
For 50 years, The Ireland Funds has helped promote peace, culture, and education across Ireland and among Irish communities around the world. Their work has supported students, strengthened communities, and helped preserve shared heritage between Ireland and the United States.
The Washington, D.C. National Gala 2026 will take place on Monday, March 16, 2026, at the National Building Museum. This special evening marks both the organization’s 50th anniversary and 250 years of friendship between Ireland and America. The event is already sold out, but those still interested can join the waitlist.
Your interest and support help continue programs that bring opportunity, understanding, and lasting community impact.
Join the waitlist here to support The Ireland Funds.
