Expanding educational purposes, helping families and children affected by serious illnesses, delivering social services to the elderly and to promote and support peace and community development across the island of Ireland and among Irish communities around the world.
The fund’s largest recent grants have gone to peace reconciliation work: American Ireland Fund received $251,000 in 2023 and $162,000 in 2025, with a further $58,000 grant in 2024. That pattern points to a grantmaker that backs long-running work around peace and community development, alongside education, support for families and children affected by serious illness, and services for older adults. Eithne and Paddy Fitzpatrick Memorial Fund C/o Fitzpatrick Manhattan Hotel operates as a regular funder and reported $529,000 in annual grants for the latest filing year on record. Its named programs describe charitable support for expanded educational opportunities, help for families and children facing serious illnesses, elderly social services, and peace across the island of Ireland and among Irish communities around the world. The recent grants list also shows support for nonprofit organizations in the United States, including grants in New York and California. The fund’s giving profile combines larger peace-related awards with smaller operating-style gifts, indicating a mix of sustained program support and broader charitable funding. JOHN FITZPATRICK is listed in leadership.
Peacebuilding is the clearest thread in the fund’s recent giving. American Ireland Fund received $251,000 in 2023, $58,000 in 2024, and $162,000 in 2025, all for peace reconciliation. That repeated support aligns with the fund’s stated interest in peace and community development across Ireland and among Irish communities. The fund also supports health-related charitable work. Okizu Foundation received $15,000 in 2024 and another $15,000 in 2025 as general support, showing continued backing for the organization. In another area, the fund gave $8,000 in 2024 to Samaritan Daytop Foundation, which appears among the recent grants as a general support recipient. Its educational purpose is listed in the fund’s active program language, though the recent grants provided here emphasize peace, health, and general charitable support.
Typical grants fall in a middle-band structure: the 25th percentile is $10,000, the median is $15,000, and the 75th percentile is $58,000. That distribution sits alongside one much larger peace-reconciliation award, suggesting a pattern of smaller routine gifts with a few sizable anchor grants. The fund is classified as a regular funder rather than a donor-advised fund, and the active programs are described as competitive or invited rather than open to unsolicited requests. Recurring support is visible in the recent grants list: American Ireland Fund and Okizu Foundation each appear in multiple years, indicating repeat funding relationships.

New York and California appear repeatedly: New York-based recipients include Clinton Foundation in New York, NY and Samaritan Daytop Foundation in Briarwood, NY, while California recipients include Okizu Foundation in Novato, CA. Boston, MA also appears multiple times through American Ireland Fund. The fund’s broader program language covers Ireland and Northern Ireland, but the recent grants listed here land in U.S. cities.

The grant-size distribution centers on $10,000 at the 25th percentile, a $15,000 median, and $58,000 at the 75th percentile. The recent list also includes larger peace-reconciliation grants, including $251,000 in 2023 and $162,000 in 2025.
