Join us on December 1, 2020
We hope you will join us on December 1st as we pay tribute to Michael Dowling for his outstanding leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic and enjoy an entertaining Irish program featuring musical performances, special guest appearances and messages from our grantees who are providing key services on the frontlines in Ireland.
The Challenge
Despite the challenges posed by COVID-19, The Ireland Funds has remained true to its mission in delivering philanthropic support to communities in crisis.
As the pandemic took hold in Ireland this spring, our COVID-19 Response Fund made quick and impactful grants to frontline organizations in the areas of food poverty, domestic violence & child abuse, elderly services, disability support, access to education and mental health.
The Response
Thanks to the response of our donors, we have been able to intervene on the frontlines by supporting projects that are ensuring the delivery of key services to thousands of people across Ireland and Northern Ireland.
Your support for The Ireland Funds will continue this work as we serve thousands of people across the island of Ireland. Thank you for standing with The Ireland Funds and Ireland during this challenging time.
