Zuckerberg Donates €150,000 to Three Waterford GAA Clubs
The donation will be paid over two years and will support coaching, facilities and community projects at the three clubs.
- Tech billionaire Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, donated €150,000 to three Gaelic Athletic Association clubs in County Waterford located near their newly purchased Strancally Castle estate.
- A spokesperson for the couple said they were 'aware of the very significant role that the GAA plays in local communities in Ireland' and, as new members of the Waterford community, they 'wanted to support' the clubs.
- Shamrocks GAA, Tallow GAA, and Lismore GAA will each receive €50,000 over two years, funding coaching, games, spectator stands, dressing rooms, and community walkways.
- Tallow GAA treasurer Kieran Geary called the gift the 'largest single donation' in the club's 139-year history, while Lismore GAA secretary Emer Barry said the club is 'delighted' by the support.
- After initial contact, Geary noted the process moved quickly with Zuckerberg's legal team, and clubs hope to present team jerseys to the family during their next visit to Ireland.
