b'Letter from the Chairman and President & CEO of The Ireland Funds America2020 was a year that required all of us to face challenges we never could have imagined. Yet we faced these challenges together. As the COVID-19 pandemic took hold andadverselyaffectedsomanynonprofitorganizationsacrossIreland,TheIrelandFunds immediately responded with our COVID-19 Response Fund. We reached out to organizations across Ireland we knew were on the front lines and listened to their immediate needs. Almost overnight, organizations adapted and thanks in part to our quick response providing grants, ensured that their services could be delivered. Education went digital, food was safely delivered, and family supports continued uninterrupted. The resilience we saw in the projects we support was inspirational.The sustained support of our donors was extraordinary and the mission we carry out to strengthen and support the island of Ireland has never wavered. The Ireland Funds community of donors was and is committed now, more than ever, to be here for the island of Ireland and the thousands of people that need our support. You will see that commitment here in our 2020 Annual Report. The ways we are supporting education through The Ireland Funds No Mind Left Behind program and the great potential we are nurturing through The Ireland Funds George Moore Scholars program. The community de-velopment we are supporting through the 174 Trust in Northern Ireland and the mental health initiatives we are strengthening through MyMind. These are just some of the612 grantsmade to208 projectswith the$14.3 millionwe granted in 2020. All of this is possible thanks to you, our donors, and your belief that we as a community can affect positive change in challenging times. We thank you for your investment in our work and in our mission. KIND REGARDS,Gene McQuadeCaitriona Fottrell Chairman,President & CEO,The Ireland Funds America The Ireland Funds11'
