Supporting the Irish Heritage Trust from Overseas is a fabulous way to remain connected with Irish Heritage, in the most positive way.
We are in the process of establishing Irish Heritage Philanthropic Chapters across the world, led by Heritage Philanthropists. Thanks to the generous support of key philanthropists based in the United States, we have established the following:
Irish Heritage Chapter – New York
Irish Heritage Chapter – Florida
If you would like to support the heritage work we are doing in Ireland from overseas and become an Irish Heritage Chapter President, please contact us.
Our Properties
We manage and care for Fota House, Arboretum & Gardens, Johnstown Castle Estate & Gardens, and Strokestown Park House & Gardens, as well as the National Famine Museum, the Irish Agricultural Museum.
Thanks to the generosity of Fingal County Council, we are thrilled to be establishing a significant new cultural hub at No.11 Parnell Square East in Dublin. No.11 The Home Of Poetry and Heritage will be a cultural and heritage space shared by Poetry Ireland, The Irish Heritage Trust and the Irish Landmark Trust.
Supporting Our Work
Direct donations, bequests, corporate donations and partnerships, all play an important part in funding our work as Ireland’s designated heritage management body. Thanks to you, we are able to open up some of Ireland’s most prestigious houses and gardens to the public and take on ambitious projects to help conserve and share diverse aspects of Irish heritage and culture in engaging ways.
Tax Effective Giving
Depending on your location tax effective giving may be available to you.
