Support TAP
TAP’s mission has been strongly supported by a range of businesses, individuals and Trinity Alumni groups. We are extremely grateful for this invaluable support which has ensured that a transformative educational experience is available to people of all ages from disadvantaged areas of Dublin – one which will impact on their own families and communities for generations to come.
About one-third of TAP’s programme costs are paid from private philanthropic or corporate sources and we hope to fund more of our growth and development through private sources in future. We are always keen to develop new working partnerships and, along with Trinity Foundation, can advise your company on how to integrate your corporate social responsibility strategy with our programmes.
Why support the Trinity Access Programmes?
Becoming a TAP supporter is a direct investment in people who face barriers to fulfilling their potential, in society as a whole, and in Ireland’s economic future. Through your involvement, you will:
- Create opportunities and eliminate barriers for bright students from under-represented backgrounds
- Prepare the role models and leaders of the future in their schools and communities
- Change negative expectations and make a real difference in communities affected by disadvantage
- Effect positive change in the Irish education system
- Make a direct and lasting impact on thousands of lives.
