The Fund operates with co-operation and financial contributions from the governments of United States of America, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, as well as the structures of the European Union.[1] The majority of its funding comes from the United States.[2] As of 2007, £576m / €849m, funding over 5,700 projects across the island of Ireland, has been disbursed.[1]
