My Appeal
Icelandic Roots is a nonprofit and charitable organization. All proceeds of IR are given as educational scholarships, hosting and promoting cultural and educational events, to fund special projects and other activities which focus on Icelandic heritage, genealogy, literature, language, culture, traditions, and the history of the people living here in North America and around the world with Icelandic ancestors. A list of the organizations and projects we support can be found at www.IcelandicRoots.com. Visit our Scholarships page to learn about opportunities for educational funding and deadlines for applications.
None of the genealogists or the board members are paid – we all work as volunteers to make IR the best site for Icelandic Genealogy and History, with personal assistance available to any member along with very fun social media applications, webinars, and more. Giving back to our Icelandic Communities makes a difference in our lives and the lives of others.

My Cause
The Mission: Ir is a non-profit, non-political, charitable organization with a mission to educate, preserve, and promote Icelandic Heritage, history of Iceland, Genealogy, strengthen the links between Icelanders and those of Icelandic descent in North America, and to inspire pride in our heritage, culture, literature, traditions, and language.
About the Organization:
Icelandic Roots provides seminars, presentations, publications, research, and many educational resources to support individuals, families, and educators in understanding the history of Iceland and its people. We supply an online genealogical database that is much more than names and dates along with the very fun "Cousins Across the Ocean" project. With social media, a blog, outreach, and many fun projects, we engage those who want just little snippets of information at a time.
None of the genealogists, IT staff, or other volunteers are paid - everyone is a volunteer to make IR the best site to collaborate on keeping our shared story alive.
