About The Ireland Funds: The Ireland Funds is a non-profit, philanthropic organization founded in 1976. Since that time The Ireland Funds has raised over 480 million dollars on behalf of more than 3,000 organizations. According to the organization’s mission statement, The Ireland Funds supports “programs of peace and reconciliation, arts and culture, education and community development throughout the island of Ireland”. In our project we focused specifically on programs which The Ireland Funds classifies as “Supporting a Shared Future in Northern Ireland.” These programs “address the lack of understanding and respect for varying cultural and religious values.” To examine these specific programs, or to find more information about The Ireland Funds click here.
The Ireland Funds in Our Project: Though the Ireland Funds has undoubtedly made incredibly large contributions in a number of different realms, as we mentioned above, in our project we examined a specific subset of those programs supported by The Ireland Funds. As a result, for our purposes The Ireland Funds webpage functions as an archive and allows us to examine projects demonstrating a variety of strategies all designed to foster peace and reconciliation. By examining the mission statements, strategies, and goals of these programs we identified several themes common to many of these projects and chose to hypothesize what commonalities those differing strategies might have in the way they attempt to create peace and reconciliation.
