The Australian Ireland Fund Benefactors Programme

To continue and further help those less fortunate than ourselves we are now complementing our Governorship Programme by launching our "Benefactor Programme".

Supporters are invited to become Benefactors of the Fund, upon payment of an annual tax-deductible contribution of $1,000 and become a Life Benefactor after making 5 successive annual payments.

• Helping those less fortunate than ourselves on the Island of Ireland
  
  
• Recognition as a Benefactor in Ireland Fund publications, including Connect, our international magazine
  
  
• Special arrangements for Benefactors who would like to visit any of the projects we support
  
  
• A copy of Connect mailed to you
  
  
• Assistance from our Ireland Fund office in Dublin with introductions in Ireland and assistance with golf, sightseeing or other recreational activities
  
  
• As a further gesture of our appreciation to Benefactors we will provide a set of two Waterford Crystal Champagne Flutes.

The support of the Benefactors will be acknowledged in the Annual Report of The Australian Ireland Fund and in the international publication Connections. In addition, the contribution by Benefactors will be acknowledged in the programme for the activities conducted by The Fund.

Each year the Chairman of The Australian Ireland Fund and the Irish Ambassador to Australia host a reception to provide a personal briefing to Benefactors on developments in Ireland, with particular reference to the role being played by The Ireland Funds. In addition, special arrangements will be made for Benefactors who might visit Ireland involving introductions to the key civic and political leaders and inspection tours of the work being conducted by The Ireland Funds. Also, our friends and associates would be very happy to assist Benefactors with golf, sightseeing or other recreational activities in Ireland.

The Directors of The Australian Ireland Fund and our grant recipients are most grateful for the generous support provided by our Benefactors.
