“This organization is doing great work for educational initiatives on the island of Ireland. This announcement of $500,000 funding will provide essential support to the next generation of Irish children – and strengthens the ties between our two countries.”
— US Ambassador to Ireland, Claire Cronin (2022)
The Partnership’s biennial
Leadership Mission
The Leadership Mission is a unique and compelling way to see modern Ireland and truly connect to the grassroots work of Partnership.
Our delegation visits and evaluates Partnership programs, including schools, universities, and community development organizations. The trip is designed to give our supporters a greater understanding of our work – and our impact – throughout Ireland. We engage with senior government officials, Partnership friends, and partners in academia, business, sports, and the arts.
The Leadership Mission is an opportunity to thank donors, friends, and partners for their ongoing investment in Ireland’s future.
