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.
Every year ITMA receives a vast number of unique and important private collections. However, due to limitations within our current funding model, making the materials accessible beyond our physical location in Dublin will be delayed for many years without new sources of funding.
In 2024, a private U.S. foundation has generously pledged to match every donation we receive up to $100,000. This means that every donation we receive this year will be doubled.
This is an amazing, once-off opportunity for Irish traditional music, song, and dance.
As a registered charity in Ireland, Irish-based donors giving €250 or more can sign a CHY3 form, increasing the value of their donation by nearly 45%. As a result, a €250 donation benefits ITMA to the value of €360. Including this year’s matched funding, this means a €250 donation could be worth as much as €720 to ITMA.
