“Part III, Primary Exempt Purpose”

“The Irish Society for Education and Charity, Inc. was created in 1991 as a tax-exempt, non-profit, charitable organization.”

“The Mission of the organization has been focused on three areas of concern.”

“The first and surely the most visible area is the sponsorship of the Pittsburgh St. Patricks Day Parade, the purpose of which is to provide a forum for the publics awareness of the history, culture, and customs of the Irish Race. The Parade is held each year in downtown Pittsburgh on the Saturday before or on March 17. The annual parade is a Pittsburgh tradition dating back 150 years.”

“The second activity involves providing scholarship aid to needy students of Irish descent enrolled in Catholic elementary or high schools.”

“The third area involves public education in the history and culture of the Irish Race and to work towards the elimination of prejudice and discrimination directed at the Irish people. This is done through the provision of support to public lectures, panel discussions, and topical debates. The Society works with a number of other Pittsburgh Irish organizations and groups in ongoing efforts to assist the community in our city to better understand the complex problems that still exist within the communities of Northern Ireland.”
