ConnectDear Friends and Supporters Congratulations. Through your amazing generosity the Promising Ireland Campaign has concluded by achieving a gure unimaginable when it was rst launched in 2009. When we set the initial goal at 100 million it seemed very ambitious. But through you we crashed through that goal and doubled it to 200 million and now close the campaign at 226.2 million. This is a tremendous testament to your commitment. Most importantly your generosity has allowed us to support over 800 projects. Over the last two years we have been able to provide 2 million per month to our projects. These projects are transforming lives creating opportunity and bringing out the best in the Irish. 2016 of course is a very signicant year for Ireland as we remember the momentous events of 100 years ago. It is also our 40th Anniversary. It is very special that the Campaign coincides with this seminal year. The Campaign itself was our response to the mission set out by our founders Tony OReilly and Dan Rooneyfourdecadesagowhichtodayisasrelevantandcompellingasever.AsTonyandDanbelievedthen private philanthropy has a great role to play in serving the public good. I hope you take great pride in what your philanthropy is achieving. I do hope that we have the chance to welcome you to Ireland to see on the ground the impact your generosity is having. Perhaps you will join us for our Worldwide Conference in Dublin on June 22nd to 25th. Thank you again for helping us to keep our promise to Ireland. Kind regards Kieran McLoughlin President and CEO The Worldwide Ireland Funds 2 0 1 6 SPRING SUMMER 5connect 2016
