Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from all of us at The Ireland Funds

As we come to the close of this unprecedented year, we simply want to THANK YOU for your incredible support and commitment to Ireland.

Thanks to you we have now provided four rounds of emergency funding to organizations on the frontlines in Ireland and have ensured communities all across the island have the key services they need to thrive. Your gifts are touching the lives of thousands of people.
