Thank You 4 Children’s Medical Research Foundation “THE IRELAND FUNDS HAS STAYED WITH US AND ALLOWED US TO CONNECT WITH THE BROADER NETWORK so we can sustain and grow. They have an immediate and passionate connection to what we are representing here which is improving the lives of sick children and their families in Ireland.” ALONE “I think sometimes people can think donating money or supporting a cause doesn’t actual- ly make a difference. I think the important thing to take awa y is that it does. It changes lives. The Ireland Funds’ support demonstrates that people care. IT’S REAL MONEY, GOING TO REAL SERVICES, FOR REAL PEOPLE.” Integrated Education in Northern Ireland “THE IRELAND FUNDS HAS BEEN A TREMENDOUS SUPPORTER OF INTEGRATED EDUCATION FOR OVER 35 YEARS. It was there to help when the very first integrated school, Lagan College, opened in 1981. Its support has been unstinting to the present day.” Co-operation Ireland “Co-operation Ireland is committed to peace-building on the island of Ireland and we will continue to deliver innovative programs which challenge people’s think- ing and attitudes. SUPPORT WE RECEIVE FROM THE IRELAND FUNDS HIGHLIGHTS WHAT CAN BE ACHIEVED with funding that allows for more creativity and input from the people the programs aim to help.” Native Woodland Trust “OUR SUPPORTERS LIKE THE IRELAND FUNDS, ARE PRESERVING PIECES OF IRELAND. Protection means that it will no longer be subject to destructive practices. There is so little left that to be able to say, ‘I saved that for perpetuity’ means it is a gift for gener- ations to come.” PeacePlayers Northern Ireland “We are recognized as being a key component to making Northern Ireland a better place. The grant makes such a difference for us. PeacePlayers is a great program but NONE OF THAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF THE IRELAND FUNDS.”
