The Canada Ireland Foundation

The Canada Ireland Foundation supports cultural and educational exchanges between Canada and Ireland, fostering connections through the arts, literature, music, and heritage. Based in Toronto, the foundation funds artists, scholars, and cultural organizations working to strengthen ties between the two nations. They provide grants and sponsorships for exhibitions, performances, publications, and educational programs that celebrate Irish culture in Canada while promoting Canadian artists and institutions in Ireland. The foundation also organizes events and lectures that bring together communities interested in Irish heritage, contemporary culture, and bilateral relations. By investing in cross-cultural initiatives, the organization helps artists and cultural workers develop their craft while building deeper understanding between Irish and Canadian communities across the GTA and beyond.
