What is the Integrated Education Fund?
The Integrated Education Fund (IEF) was established in 1992 with money from EU Structural Funds, the Department of Education NI, the Nuffield Foundation and the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust, as a financial foundation for the development and growth of integrated education.
The IEF seeks to bridge the financial gap between starting integrated schools and securing full government funding and support.
The IEF financially supports the establishment of new schools, the growth of existing schools and those schools seeking to become integrated through the transformation process.
The Board of Trustees, which at 31 January 2011 has 13 members, administers the charity; the day to day operations of the IEF are managed by the Chief Executive, appointed by the Board, and her staff. The Board is made up of individuals nominated by the founding bodies together with others co-opted for their skills and expertise, including a nominee from the Northern Ireland Council for Integrated Education (NICIE). Trustees receive no remuneration from the Fund. In addition, there is a Campaign Executive made up of volunteers which is chaired by Baroness Blood, supported by Volunteer Teams in Northern Ireland and Great Britain.
The Fund is accepted as a charity by the Inland Revenue under Reference XR52574.
