Irish Youth Foundation
The Irish Youth Foundation is a registered charity and grant making foundation in the Republic of Ireland dedicated solely to meeting the needs of children and young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.
We do this by supporting a wide range of outstanding projects and organisations across the country and by working closely with Ireland’s dedicated youth workers and project leaders to help give Ireland’s underrepresented young people the tools needed to reach their full potential in life.
Their Impact
The Generation Pandemic Fund was set up to support projects and programmes around the country as they work to undo the catastrophic damage the Covid-19 fallout has inflicted on our most marginalised children and young adults.
In total 26 projects from across the country were awarded funding – 17 Grassroots Projects and 9 Promising Programmes. All projects align with the IYF’s three focus areas of Education, Emotional & Mental Wellbeing, and Skills & Employability.
