Welcome to Galway University Foundation

Since its establishment in 1998, Galway University Foundation has been engaged in generating financial support for NUI Galway's programmes and activities from a range of private individuals and institutions. A core part of our work is in nurturing lasting relationships with donors who share NUI Galway's vision for the future.

NUI Galway is poised to spend €400 million over the next five years, which will make dramatic advances in education for the next generation. Capital developments on campus are made possible by a combination of government and private, philanthropic funding. The 'People & Place' Campaign was publicly launched in 2004 to secure €50 million in private support. 

To date, we have secured €100 million and will continue our efforts with a new target of €120 million for the 'Campus of the Future' campaign . We greatly appreciate the commitment of our Boards in Ireland and the USA, chaired by John MacNamara (IRL) and Declan Kelly (USA).
