The American Ireland Fund delivers its program services as follows: It makes grants to programs throughout Ireland and Northern Ireland, as well in the United States to accomplish the following: To promote peace and reconciliation in the North of Ireland; To promote the education sector, particularly higher education; To increase the awareness of, and the appreciation of, all aspects of Irish culture; To assist in the strengthening and development of communities, particularly for the underprivileged in society; To promote the development of an independent philanthropic segment, both in Ireland and Northern Ireland. There were 296 grants to 132 grant recipients, totaling $40,496.874 during calendar year 2010. These grants were in the areas of Peace and Reconciliation, Arts and Culture, Community Development and Education. They consisted of donor advised U.S. and foreign grants, and non-donor advised U.S. and foreign grants.
4b (Code:   ) (Expenses $ 895,468 including grants of $   ) (Revenue $   )
The Fund also provides technical assistance and direct programmatic assistance to its grantees to ensure that all funds are being used efficaciously to accomplish their announced charitable goals. The Fund has also taken the lead, by direct staff involvement, in promoting a world-wide awareness of the Irish Diaspora (all of the progeny of Ireland who have emigrated to the U.S. and elsewhere since the Great Famine) as a source of energy and support for meeting the current actual needs of the people of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Additionally, as part of ongoing research and development, they collaborate with a number of other foundations to share research, identify emerging needs and evaluate grants. These "affinity groups" meet in the areas of disadvantaged youth, mental health and peace and reconciliation programs. Finally, they regularly visit organizations throughout the country and evaluate their progress in developing and implementing a comprehensive strategy for each organization to enhance and ensure ongoing effectiveness in meeting its program goals.

Program Service Form 990 Part III (Other Exempt Purpose Achievements) The American Ireland fund supports philanthropic organizations, by guiding, educating, supporting grantees and prospective grantees in Ireland and the United States. Projects are in touch with regional offices regularly, and many visiting AIF in person. AIF advises them of securing their funding and assists these organizations in developing their fundraising strategic plans. The American Ireland Fund effectively provides advice, marketing and referral service for these organizations. All costs associated with these activities are met by the Fund.

Governance, Management, and Disclosure FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 7B There is an executive committee that has the authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business of the Corporation between board meetings. There are limitations to this committee's authority, and therefore would need total board approval in some areas.
Governance, Management, and Disclosure FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11 A draft of the 2010 - 990 is submitted to the Board of Directors for review prior to submission. A copy of the Form 990 as it is ultimately filed is provided to the board prior to being electronically submitted to the IRS.
Governance, Management, and Disclosure FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15A There is a compensation committee made up of 5 board members, the compensation is analyzed by an outside compensation consultant who researches and compares compensation data with like positions in similar organizations. A recommendation is made by the consultant as to whether the proposed compensation is reasonable taking into consideration the research conducted and AIF's comparison to the other nonprofit organizations. The analysis is then submitted to the board for review and approval which is documented in the board minutes.
Governance, Management, and Disclosure Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7A There is a nominating and governance committee that is responsible for nominating new board members or suggesting the removal of current board members. This needs to be voted upon at a board meeting.
Governance, Management, and Disclosure Form 990, Part VI, Section B, LINE 12C The conflict of interest policy requires the board members to communicate to the organization if any conflict of interest arises. We send out a conflict of interest questionnaire each year. If a conflict arises, it is brought to the attention of the Executive committee and subsequently to the entire board. All board members and the top management would be subject to the conflict of interest policy.
