Overall statement: As it is our desire to target our charity efforts in a meaningful and effective way, and to deal fairly with all deserving request for our funds and resources, we concentrate particularly on projects involving Children, Education and Culture. Our approach also focuses on involving our Club Members with their active engagement.

Our charity efforts policy - Our funding is specifically targeted on the following areas, with preference given to Projects that corresponds to The Irish Club charity aid priorities and can be realized through five strategic initiatives:

• Organizations working with disadvantaged communities in Moscow and its environs

• Programs which provide opportunities for the involvement of Club Members

• Community organizations and schools, rather than individuals
• Programs proposed by Members
· Programs coordinated by reputable and reliable charity/community organizations

Furthermore, all recipients of charity funding from The Irish Club:

1. Must be legally registered in Russia,
2. Must be transparent in their spending, and
3. Must report on their activities and how Club funds were spent in targeted areas (not general support).
4. Must be made aware that two years is the maximum period of any given support.

Lastly, The Irish Club will seek to team-up with one or more charities so that our support can leverage that of other organizations.
