The Worldwide Ireland Funds have announced the launch of the ‘Promising Ireland 
Campaign,’ a fundraising initiative with a €100 million target by 2013.

The Funds say the campaign will help charitable organisations in Ireland and Irish
communities abroad who face increased demand for their services in the midst of 
the recession.

The Funds began the campaign’s ‘quiet phase’ in 2009 and have already raised €40
million towards the €100 million target. With this announcement the public phase
has begun.
