Most of IGSI's income comes from membership dues, yet that does not always meet the needs and expenses of the organization.  It is through the generosity of members as individual donors that we meet the goals of the Society.  Your tax-deductible contributions support the upkeep of our collection, publication of The Septs, and educational and outreach efforts.

IGSI is run by volunteers and completely financed by membership dues, donations, and funds raised by educational events and sales of publications.

Your generosity is greatly appreciated. Your support truly makes a difference; help IGSI continue for the next generation.  IGSI is a tax exempt 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization and donations are tax deductible to the full extent of the law. 

Please Consider

• Making a donation “In Honor of” or “In Memoriam to” a significant ancestor or loved one. 
• Including a distribution to IGSI in your will in tribute to your Irish heritage.
• Qualified Charitable Distributions - Starting at age 70-1/2 those with an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) are able to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly to charities of their choice from an IRA.  QCD withdrawals can be applied toward annual Required Minimum Distribution (RMD).  The 2026 maximum QCD per person is $111,000 (see page 5 for details).
