It's been a busy few months already at the Ireland Funds Australia, the highlight being our Women In Leadership and Philanthropy luncheon in February with BHP and our Young Leader Corporate Breakfast with Ray Wilson and Shauna Keogh.

Upcoming events include our Women in Leadership and Philanthropy Reception – One Year On – on 5 June, hosted by EY. It's going to be a fantastic night of connections and insights. Please register and book your tickets here, places are limited.

We have our annual Brisbane Luncheon on 2 August at Hillstone St. Lucia and we are thrilled to have Les Kiss, the Queensland Reds Coach, as one of our speakers and Catherine Murphy, Irish Sports Journalist, as MC. You can book your tickets here.

Details of our Global 5K in September around Australia, our Sydney Garden Party in November will be coming soon, make sure to keep an eye out!

We are shortly going to announce our annual June Grant round recipients in Ireland and Australia.  As we all know while Ireland has seen significant economic growth in recent times, there are still pockets of poverty and economic disparity particularly in rural areas and disadvantaged urban communities.  This is where the Ireland Funds focuses on education and community development helping people to help themselves.

As it is coming up to the end of the Financial Year, please stay with us and continue to support us with a tax deductible donation helping us to provide hope and encouragement to people in need. Please see our recent Impact Report here.
