Support Us

There are lots of ways you can support the Maria Edgeworth Centre

Whether through visits, donations, volunteering, or even sponsorship and collaborative partnerships, your support is vital in keeping our doors open and ensuring our collections are preserved.

Every donation, big or small, plays a vital role in supporting our mission—from keeping the lights on to safeguarding our heritage and preserving the Centre’s buildings and artefacts for future generations.

The Maria Edgeworth Centre is proudly managed by an Irish registered charity, relying entirely on self-generated funds to sustain its operations and keep its collections open to the public.

We are also grateful to our dedicated team of volunteer guides and support staff, who make every visit special.

Thank you for supporting us!
