Irish Quaker Faith in Action (IQFA) is a committee of Ireland Yearly Meeting, which aims to further the charitable concerns of Quakers both at home or abroad.
Most projects funded are known personally to Irish Quakers or have a long-standing relationship with IQFA. Many are small developmental charities where IQFA can have an immediate and long-lasting effect. IQFA also sometimes contributes funds to specific larger charities that are able to fund larger-scale projects.
You can find out more about IQFA and projects recently supported in the IQFA Autumn 2024 newsletter and on the IQFA website.
A Festive FUNdraiser in support of IQFA will be held on Saturday 7th December at the Rathfarnham Quaker Meeting House. Please email office@quakers.ie if you are able to support the event by providing articles for sale (such as craftwork, artwork, good quality books, toys, etc, plants, baked goods …), helping out on a stall, helping setup the night before, or distributing posters and flyers beforehand. You can also support the event by coming by on the day to see what’s for sale!
