THE THOMAS F. MEAGHER FOUNDATION COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

The Thomas F. Meagher Foundation Company Limited by Guarantee is a national charitable organisation dedicated to fostering pride and respect for the Irish flag and its message of peace. Drawing on the historic 1848 flag-raising by Thomas Francis Meagher in Waterford, the Foundation promotes active citizenship among young people through its Flag Day celebrations, a Schools Programme, and a suite of awards and scholarships that encourage inclusion and a sense of belonging in today's Irish communities.

Key initiatives include the Gaisce Challenge partnership, a range of teaching resources for schools, and the annual Awards & Scholarship Presentation Luncheons held at Leinster House. The Foundation also contributes to education leadership forums, such as the National Association of Principals and Deputy Principals (NAPD) Conference, reinforcing its role as a catalyst for civic education across the island.

Through these programmes, the Thomas F. Meagher Foundation works with students, educators and community groups nationwide, championing the values embodied by the tricolour and inspiring the next generation to uphold them.
