Foundation Projects

The Killarnée Foundation makes available scholarships to help eligible young adults over the age of 18 years to pursue long-held dreams.

The funding from children's charities may have ended at  18, but the dreams continue. 

The Foundation hopes to make these dreams become reality. 

The Shine Performance Group, for example, is a collection of young people - now in their twenties - who have both the talent and the desire to entertain audiences in the wider world.  With Killarnée's backing, we will help them get there.

Sometimes a single act - a helping-hand gesture - can make all the difference to an individual.  Where possible, the Killarnée Foundation aims to answer the call for a one-off request for help.  Requests for such as:

•      The supply of a Business-Class airfare to enable a visit to relatives in Scotland,

•      Enough money to rejuvenate a modified vehicle to allow two wheelchair-bound sisters to travel, and

•      Enough cash to ease the financial pressure on a severely arthritic mother.

Sometimes family needs are more abstract and less immediately apparent. 

Such is the case when a family has to cope with a new diagnosis of disablement.  Struggling to understand the condition itself, the realignments of priorities and the sheer weight of the possible combinations of mental, physical and financial stress can be a harrowing experience.

The Killarnée Foundation has the capacity to assist a family readjust to their new and pressing circumstances.
