The Society to Launch New Grants Programmes
/The Honourable The Irish Society has provided grants to communities across Northern Ireland, for many years. Over the last 30 years, the Society has distributed in excess of £2.5 Million to communities. These grants have resulted in real impact for thousands of people.
We want to take the opportunity to thank the staff and volunteers who have joined with us to make that impact possible. We also want to thank our generous donors who have supported this work through their financial contributions.
The Society’s trustees have been focusing on how we can increase the impact we make through this work when looking at our plans for the future. As a result of this, the Society’s grants programmes are being temporarily paused as of March 2026. This short pause is being put in place while the Society finalises new grants programmes to reflect our revised strategic focus.
The Society’s trustees have approved new future plans that focus on 3 key themes:
Early Years Education
Improving our Waterways
Promoting Culture, Heritage and Reconciliation.
