Maynooth Alumni Association was the result of the Bicentenary Reunion Day Celebrations held in April 1995. It was recognised from that day that there was a need for an Alumni Association.
The objectives of the Association are to provide a structure for the development and strengthening of links between Maynooth and its Alumni, at home and abroad, and to promote the interests of Maynooth and its graduates.
With a Board of Directors that includes distinguished leaders in Irish business and social life, Maynooth University Foundation provides philanthropic support for NUI Maynooth. Foundation initiatives underpin an ambitious building programme that is transforming an historic and expanding campus with two centuries of national education prominence into a modern university serving over 5,000 students.
Fundraising projects include construction of new lecture and teaching facilities, development of an international network of 10,000 graduates and a partnership to underwrite expansion of sport and recreational facilities.
