The Women's Fund for
Ireland
The Women's Fund
for Ireland is a brand new fund here at The Foundation. Launched in April 2010
at a major seminar on women’s philanthropy in Dublin, The Women's Fund for
Ireland fuels change in our communities by supporting the most innovative and
positive solutions to the issues facing women in Ireland today. Its mission is
to encourage philanthropy among women, improve the lives of women through
social change grant-making, and educate the entire community about the benefits
to society when the potential of women is realised.
Initially, it
has two main focus areas; Measures aimed at Preventing Violence Against Women,
and Measures Empowering Women to take Leadership roles. As the fund grows,
these areas will be reviewed and/or expanded.

Fund will endeavour to support projects that most closely fit the criteria of
organisations’ working with women tackling addictions, prostitution and
trafficking, violence and abuse. The goal of the fund is to provide resources
which will help educate, develop and enhance the lives and dignity of
marginalised women.
