We mourn the passing of Sir Anthony "Tony" O'Reilly, Co-Founder of The Ireland Funds. When he helped establish The Ireland Funds with Dan Rooney in 1976 at the height of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, his insight and love for the island created an organization that today has gone on to support thousands of non-profit organizations. Countless lives have been improved and the extent of Tony's philanthropic reach may never be fully known. The greatest tribute we can offer is to continue the work he began almost fifty years ago. We thank Tony for his vision, his charismatic leadership, his service, and his commitment to our mission. His memory will live on in the legacy and impactful philanthropy of The Ireland Funds. Our thoughts and condolences are with the O'Reilly family now and in the days to come.

This World Autism Awareness Day, we are proud to provide vital supports to organizations across the island of Ireland that assist, empower, and celebrate people with disabilities, including those on the autism spectrum. Organizations like @AsIAmIreland and @SenKidsIreland are ensuring that people on the spectrum have the resources and services to thrive in everyday life and be their unique selves. #TheIrelandFundsIsThere #WAAD #autismawareness

Deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Chuck Feeney whose remarkable philanthropy, leadership, commitment, and generosity knew no bounds. He was a true beacon of hope and kindness, and his dedication to making the world a better place left an indelible mark on us all. May he rest in peace and his legacy continue to inspire.  atlanticphilanthropies.org/n…
