Our Work

Strengthening the places at the heart of the grassroots game

Our Work

Across Ireland, communities are already doing the hard work. Volunteers raise money. Clubs develop projects. Families fundraise. Public investment is secured.

GIFF brings philanthropy alongside that effort.

We mobilise additional philanthropic investment for grassroots football facilities, supporting investment where there is genuine need and the potential for lasting impact.

How we Work

How we Work

GIFF is responsible for the philanthropic funds it raises and for ensuring those funds are applied in support of its purpose.

Funding priorities and decisions are informed by evidence of need, expected impact and relevant football, community and technical expertise. GIFF remains accountable for the stewardship and allocation of the funds entrusted to it.

Philanthropy does not replace public funding or community effort. It adds another source of investment to the future of grassroots football.
