The Irish Traditional Music Archive (ITMA) is committed to providing free, universal access to the rich cultural tradition of Irish music, song and dance. If you’re able, we’d love for you to consider a donation. Any level of support will help us preserve and grow this tradition for future generations.
By making a donation – at any level – you help ensure that the well of Irish music, song and dance is preserved and available for use by present and future generations of musicians, researchers and listeners throughout the world. Your donations will help us expand the digital library of our collections, offering free open access to everyone around the world. They will also go towards promoting artists and celebrating the traditions of diverse community groups.
Irish-based donors can see their donations augmented by the State through the CHY3 form, which means any donation above €250 will be worth an additional 44.93%. So if you donate €250, we can claim €112.33 tax back from revenue – meaning your original donation is worth €362.33 towards ITMA’s archival work at no additional cost to you.
For potential donors based in the USA, donating to ITMA can be a tax efficient way of supporting our mission of making more and more archival material accessible to remote users. ITMA is eligible for 501(c)3 donations and working through the Ireland Funds, our donors have had an amazingly positive impact on the work we delivered this year.
