Integrated Education Fund

The Integrated Education Fund (IEF) is an independent charitable company supporting the development and growth of Integrated Education in Northern Ireland. The Fund’s vision is an education system free from religious, social and cultural divisions. We know, from extensive research, that the vast majority of parents want to see this become a reality.

Children from different traditions learning and playing together at the same school, helping to build a society where there is respect and celebration, not fear, of religious and cultural diversity.

The IEF shares the vision, held by the overwhelming majority of people in Northern Ireland, of a united community and a shared future. Many believe that more integration and mixing between communities are essential to building a better and more reconciled society.
