Dear (I1)

Welcome to our first eNewsletter – a new initiative helping us stay in contact with our Supporters and create awareness of the valuable work of the Australian Ireland Fund.

We are delighted to let our Supporters know that alongside the support we provide projects in Ireland, we are turning our attention to giving back to Australia and help in a meaningful way. More on this initiative later …

The assistance provided by The Australian Ireland Fund (and our very generous supporters!) to projects in Ireland & Australia has

• touched the lives of over 12,000 people last year

Think about this and then think of the positive ripple effect that our support will have had on the wider families as well. Thank you!
