Who We Are
The International Fund for Ireland was established as an independent organisation by the British and Irish Governments in 1986 with financial contributions from the United States of America, the European Union, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The total resources committed to the Fund to date amount to £780m / €974m / $979m, supporting over 6,000 projects across the island of Ireland. The Fund aims to promote economic and social advance as well as encourage contact and dialogue between nationalists and unionists throughout Ireland.
Our Impact
Crossing the Threshold
At the heart of our new strategy is an invitation for all of us to take the next imaginative leap in making peace with ourselves and our neighbours, joyful, celebrated and normal.
Our new strategy will allow the IFI to do what it does best.
We will keep our independence and have the ability to adapt to changing political, social, and economic circumstances, providing flexible and responsive support to communities.
Join us as we cross the threshold into the next phase of our peacebuilding journey.
