Liverpool Irish Festival is grateful to a number of organisations for their financial support. In the past year these have included Liverpool City Council, The Heritage Lottery Fund, the Irish Government Emigrant Support Programme, Diageo, specifically the Guinness brand team, and the Irish Youth Foundation.
We have strengthened the Festival through partnerships with many organizations in the city allowing us to maximize resource, broaden the Festival offer and stimulate imaginative programming. We are indebted to a sizeable catalogue of supporters including:
• Liverpool Philharmonic, who’ve been partners and providers of infrastructural support since 2004;
• Liverpool City Council and, specifically, Culture Liverpool;
• the Liverpool University Institute of Irish Studies;
• Cornerstone Campus at Liverpool Hope University;
• St Michael’s Irish Centre;
• Liverpool Community College;
• National Museums and Galleries on Merseyside, including the World Museum;
• Paver Smith Associates;
• the Liverpool Daily Post and Echo;
• Merseyside Dance Initiative;
• Irish Community Care;
• Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann;
• Conradh na Gaeilge;
• Picturehouse at FACT;
• Norfolkline Ferries, and
• a host of significant local links, too many to name, throughout the city and beyond.
