The Friendly Daughters of St. Patrick or FDSP is a social and philanthropic organization for women of Irish heritage regardless of religious affiliation. We seek to create and support programs that promote, maintain and preserve Irish heritage and culture. The FDSP operates as a benevolent, non-profit, charitable organization, donating time and money to individuals and groups that demonstrate need. Particular emphasis is placed on efforts with special attention given to programs for women, children, and families.
