Membership is open to women graduates of any recognised University. For further information see the DUWGA website.

For further information, membership details and news of events visit the TBA website.

TCD Association & Trust

The TCD Association & Trust provides grant support for a wide variety of College projects where funding is not available from mainstream resources. Its committee, with administrative support from Trinity Foundation, is made up of Trinity graduates who operate on a volunteer basis.

One of the main sources of funding for the TCD Association & Trust comes from the TCD Affinity Credit Card. With over 10,000 cardholders to date, a percentage of the annual turnover on these cards is donated back to College by Bank of Ireland.

Applications for Funding

Grant meetings are held at three times throughout the year and are open to all staff and students for applications. Before submitting an application, please review the criteria for support.

Applications for funding support can be made using the online application form.

TCD Association & Trust also hosts annual social events on campus that maintain and strengthen links between alumni and the College community. These social events are self funding and often generate a surplus which contributes to funding College projects.
