IRISH FELLOWSHIP CLUB OF CHICAGO

WELCOME TO OUR NEW FUNDRAISING HUB!

Nurturing a strong and enduring sense of Irish pride while fostering friendship and understanding among all who share an interest in Irish culture.

Established in 1901, the Irish Fellowship Club of Chicago was formed by a dedicated collective of Irish-American individuals with the objective of fostering a positive perception of the Irish community within the city. Over the course of a century, the IFC has experienced remarkable expansion, raising over $1 million in funds to provide extensive support to Catholic education in the Chicagoland area, alongside fostering Irish cultural institutions.

The Irish Fellowship Club Educational and Cultural Foundation serves as the philanthropic branch of the Irish Fellowship Club of Chicago. This esteemed foundation is dedicated to endorsing charitable initiatives within the Chicago area.
