TCD ASSOCIATION & TRUST
Report 2007/08
OVER €530,000 ALLOCATED TO 25 PROJECTS
Trinity College Dublin Association and Trust1 provides grant support for a wide variety of College projects where funding is not available from mainstream resources. Its committee, with administrative support from Trinity Foundation, is made up of Trinity graduates who operate on a volunteer basis.
