Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of donors in 2013 The Worldwide Ireland Funds announced that it was doubling the original target for its Promising Ireland Campaign from 100 million to 200 million. The new target required that the Fund raise on average 2 million a month an objective successfully achieved in 2014 which positioned the Fund well as it entered the nal year of the Campaign. At a time when needs everywhere are heightened our donors have redoubled their generosity. They are really standing up for Ireland when it is needed most. The success of the Promising Ireland Campaign is a tribute to our remarkable donors and their generosity. Need across the island of Ireland increased and therefore the benchmark of The American Ire- land Funds response increased as well. Supporters want to help sustain the work of organizations on the ground in Ireland helping those people who need it most. The Campaign title reects both our commitment to helping Ireland at a difcult time and our belief in Irelands ability to recover.
