**The [National Concert Hall](http://www.nch.ie) in Dublin is launching a €50 million
fundraising campaign for a major refurbishment of their building.**

An important part of the strategy for the campaign will be raising money from philanthropic
sources in the United States.

Within the last year the National Concert Hall (NCH) has undertaken a number of 
fundraising events in New York and, according to the Irish Times, is seeking to 
base its campaign on that of New York’s Lincoln Centre for Performing Arts.

The Lincoln Centre has raised over €1 billion for a refurbishment programme and 
NCH wants to draw on that experience for their campaign.

NCH currently runs a number of patrons and friends programmes. In the last financial
year NCH had a **turnover of over €4 million** which included grant aid of €2.6 
million from the State.
