Grand Grants

Summer, as of today, is officially over and that means your deadline for applying for an Irish Fest grant is rushing toward you as well.

Don't be shy. This money is here for you. Now of course we won't just give it to you for anything. Your application for a grant to do an intensive study of which local Irish pub has the most comfortable bar stools will likely be rejected. Likewise your proposal "Travel To Ireland: Is It More Fun When I Don't Have To Pay For It?" will most likely end up in the rejected pile. But if you've got a legit interest, area of study, project, event...we're here to make that Irish dream come true. Individuals may receive up to $1500. Qualified organizations can get $3500.

No guarantees that you'll get the grant you apply for, of course. There's only so much money to be had. But I will guarantee that if you don't apply, we will NOT come to your house and beg you to take our money.

Applications close September 30th. You can get all the info you'll need right here.
