DONATE/SPONSOR US

We are always looking for sponsors of our major events. Each of our events is unique and covers a wide demographic, from the general public and school children to academics and architects.

All donations are welcome and go straight back into IAF events, exhibitions and projects. Your contribution means we continue to be a success and helps us continue to be creative, push boundaries and think big.

In order to continue developing and providing a wide range of programmes for you, our wonderful fans, we need your support. Your donations will contribute to the facilitation of our many events, and will help us continue to be creative, push boundaries, and think big.

IAF events are some of the most innovative and exciting in Ireland, drawing huge crowds of diverse, loyal audiences, from the general public to school children, academics and artists. Our main event is Open House Dublin, Ireland’s biggest architectural festival, attracting over 31,000 visits in a single weekend in 2016. As we grow and become more ambitious we seek to partner with new sponsors for our major events, exhibitions, talks and conferences.

Benefits

A large ROI in terms of publicity. In 2014 we generated over €1.6 million in Media PR value for our funders and sponsors for Open House Dublin alone

How does this fit with your company?
Brand Association
Open House Dublin is one of our greatest successes. It has built a very loyal following that grows year on year. The publicity generated by this event alone is extremely positive. By sponsoring the IAF your company is aligned with one of Ireland’s most exciting, original and positive brand images that has very high public and community engagement.

Corporate social responsibility
Our ethos is centred on values that can sit very well with your company’s CSR policy. With a clear focus on community engagement and education, some aspects of our programme also look at issues like sustainability and environmental responsibility in relation to architecture and the built environment.

Without our funders, sponsors and partners we would not be able to continue our programme of exhibitions, talks, film screenings, symposia, competitions, publications, school and community workshops, intended to generate dialogue as well as critically engage a diverse public.
