Keeping Our Promise to Ireland When It Counts the Most
The American Ireland Fund is part of The Worldwide Ireland Funds, a philanthropic network across 12 countries that has raised over $480 million for worthy Irish causes around the world. Founded in 1976, The Worldwide Ireland Funds have benefited over 3,000 organizations. In response to the severe downtu in the Irish economy, The Worldwide Ireland Funds launched the Promising Ireland Campaign in 2009 to help charities experiencing an increased demand for their services. Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of donors, the initial goal of $100 million has been exceeded and the target has been doubled to now raise $200 million. Over 650 outstanding projects and organizations have received support from the Promising Ireland Campaign. The American Ireland Fund holds the highest 4-star rating from Charity Navigator in recognition of efficiency, sound fiscal management and commitment to accountability and transparency.
This year marks a special milestone for The American Ireland Fund in our city –
the 30th Anniversary Chicago Dinner. Your participation will support the vital work of
The American Ireland Fund as we continue to impact lives and communities across the entire island of Ireland.
