Irish Network DC
About Irish Network DC
The Irish Network DC serves as the heart of the diverse Irish and Irish-American community in Washington, D.C. We embrace all connections to Ireland and serve as a conduit to collaboration between our communities both in Ireland and the United States.
In January 2010, with the support of Ambassador Michael Collins and Embassy of Ireland, the Irish Network DC was founded. The chapter was incorporated under the non-profit laws of the District of Columbia in June 2010. From the outset, IN-DC aimed to hold cultural, educational, social and philanthropic events and grew with healthy membership. In 2012, the Internal Revenue Service granted IN-DC 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. With this designation, IN-DC must retain its neutral stance on political issues and we see this as a strength for civil and unbiased discussion.
