WHO WE ARE

The Hibernian Cultural and Charitable Association (HCCA) is the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization for the Ancient Order of Hibernians in Louisville, KY.  The nonprofit promotes the advancement of Irish culture through fundraising events and charitable giving.  The premier event of the HCCA is the annual St. Patrick's Parade in Louisville, KY. 

OUR MISSION  

Our mission is exclusively for charitable, religious and educational purposes, including, for such purposes, the making of distributions to organizations that qualify as exempt organizations under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code, or corresponding section of any future federal tax code.  Here are some of the ways that this charity advances its cause:

• We organize and raise funds from sponsors and the public to put on the annual St. Patrick's day parade in Louisville, KY to educate the public and advance the cause of the Irish culture. 

• As part of the parade festivities, we host the annual St. Partick coloring contest and award prizes to the winner(s) of the contest, not to exceed $1,000 total ($300 grand prize).

• We also make donations to other charitable organizations that promote Irish culture or do good works for the underprivileged. 

• Last, but certainly not least, we make donations to groups and individuals that further Irish culture.
