Leona Maguire & Irish American Partnership

Leona is a proud ambassador of the Irish American Partnership. The strategic alliance was born out of a mutual commitment to empowering the next generation of Irish leaders through education.

In Leona’s capacity as ambassador, she will champion the Irish American Partnership’s mission, specifically its efforts to ensure schools across the island have adequate resources to educate and inspire through its hallmark O’Neill Direct Grants to Schools program and in addition alongside the Irish American Partnership commit $1 million to schools across both Ireland and Northern Ireland over the next four years.

Since 1986, the Irish American Partnership has raised more than $50 million in support of schools, education programs, and communities across the island of Ireland. Dedicated to connecting Irish America and friends of Ireland to their Irish heritage through direct giving, the Partnership provides targeted grants to schools, provides university access scholarships, funds education centers for homeless youth supports peace and reconciliation initiatives in Northern Ireland, and champions Gaelic games, Irish arts, culture, and more. The Partnership is a dynamic, grassroots organization that is respected and endorsed by leaders across education, community, and government sectors.
