September marks the return to familiar routines and school is back in session. Education is a key pillar of The Ireland Funds' mission and we invest in initiatives to ensure students have opportunities to thrive.

From our scholarship programs to Children’s Books Ireland, which fosters a love of reading by providing easy access to quality books, to Citywise Education, which tackles educational underachievement in challenging environments, to Midlands Science, which delivers innovative STEM lessons to students of all ages, we proudly support numerous educational programs impacting thousands this fall. THANK YOU.

Thanks to our donors' generosity, The Ireland Funds No Mind Left Behind scholarship program is enabling 300+ students to attend college and university across Ireland this fall. Many of these deserving students are the first in their families to attend higher education and we see how life-changing this is for them, their families, and their communities. Watch as Roisin and Shauna Gallagher, two sisters who have benefitted from the program, share their story.
