2022 Leadership Mission

“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

This year’s Irish American Partnership Leadership Mission was an opportunity to thank donors, friends, and partners across the Atlantic for their ongoing investment in Ireland’s future. Our delegates met with schools, students, universities, and community programs, gaining a first-hand understanding of the vital impact of their generous support.

The Partnership disbursed $500,000 in grants during this trip, bringing our year-to-date funding for Ireland to $1.2 million. The awards were announced at a reception to culminate the visit hosted at the residence of U.S. Ambassador to Ireland, Claire Cronin.
