Ms Avila Kilmurray
Director of the Community Foundation for Northern Ireland
The 2004 winner was chosen for her leading philanthropic work towards peace and social solidarity both in her own country, Northern Ireland, and in the Balkans, with the YouthBank project. The project is an example of the important role that can be played by foundations in Europe on a pan-European level, at the same time paying tribute to Raymond Georis’ career, which itself exemplifies dedication to peace and security in Europe.
