Inspired by his two sons, Colin Farrell is dedicated to supporting those who the larger systems of governance have neglected.

Hey guys welcome to June. It’s June 1st and I just wanted to say hello to the whole community and to everyone who’s been supporting us and saying today we go live with our first grant admissions process. So if you go to ColinFarrellFoundation.org and you’ll find all the details, I hope you find all the details, we’re still new at this so we’re figuring it out but you’ll find all the details to apply for the grants that we will be giving out. You have 30 days to apply and it’ll all be, as I said I hope, self-explanatory on the Colin Farrell Foundation website.

And I also just want to thank everyone for your support in the last year as we’ve been figuring out how to do this I’ve never done this before but it’s really important to me and to the board and we all support each other in supporting you to support us so that we can then support the community that we love so much and that means so much to us, and the grants will be going to, as I said in the last newsletter, will be going to organizations and folks who are doing extraordinary work across America already within their communities in many different ways to support the IDD community. So we’re super excited and uh yeah, it starts today June 1st. And what else, we’re figuring out where we’re going to have our spring um community get together and that’ll be in 2026 we’re looking at a few places it might be outdoors there might be some farm animals involved we’re not sure maybe not but we’re figuring it out and as soon as we know we’ll let the whole community know.

So thank you so much everyone for all the support and for supporting us so that we can support others and I send you all my love, Colin signing out, bye everyone.
