We have some very exciting news we would like to share – a gesture of support that could be transformative for the Foundation. Yes, really, it is that big.

Two anonymous supporters have pledged to donate to the Foundation and will match every amount we raise, dollar for dollar, to a maximum of $50,000.

Yes, you read correctly, $50,000. This is a stunning gesture of support, and if you will consider making a financial gift, with your help, we hope we can reach this target.

This pledge, match-funding dollar-for-dollar, means, in reality, that we could potentially reach $100,000. It requires incredible generosity from supporters but it could enable us to achieve our objectives outlined below and help to put the Foundation's finances on a more secure footing.

It is not in the bag yet though, these are pledges, we need to actually raise funds to make the donors’ generosity a reality.

It need not only be cash, for donors in the USA you can also donate shares of stock (via the Irish American Partnership), which will be converted into funds designated for the Foundation by IAP. 100% of all donations made via IAP will go towards our "Big Ask" campaign.

And don’t forget gifts of cash or shares are tax deductible, thus for individuals doing some tax planning a gift will help to reduce your 2025 taxes in the U.S. A donation can therefore benefit the donor’s bottom line too.
