About Irish American Partnership

The Irish American Partnership, based in Boston, MA, connects Irish and Irish American communities with transformative education and community development programs across Ireland, North and South. Since 1986, the organization has distributed over $63 million to support more than 650 schools, universities, and community organizations throughout the island. The Partnership specializes in funding educational initiatives that empower Ireland's youth, including university access scholarships available at every major Irish university, integrated education programs in Northern Ireland, and enhanced STEAM education curricula. Beyond traditional academics, the organization supports programs of peace and reconciliation, education centers serving homeless youth, and initiatives promoting Irish arts, sports, and cultural heritage. The Partnership operates with exceptional transparency and efficiency, ensuring 100% of donor contributions are directly disbursed to supported programs and organizations. Operating from Boston, the Partnership maintains a lean, grassroots nonprofit structure while coordinating a robust annual calendar of fundraising events across major cities including New York, Washington DC, and Chicago, as well as throughout Ireland. Their donor-advised giving program allows supporters to select specific schools or organizations meaningful to their families, creating personalized philanthropic partnerships that directly impact Ireland's future.
