Tapping Irish emigrants to fund education for those in need back home

Mairead McNamara, currently the vice-president of development for the Irish American Partnership, is connecting successful Irish-Americans with educational and developmental programs in Ireland. The organization, which has operated for 40 years, facilitates donations from the Irish diaspora to support education and community projects in Ireland. Recent efforts include funding a literacy program in Offaly and supporting students through law and veterinary degrees. The partnership ensures that 100% of funds go directly to recipients, having raised $63 million since 1986. McNamara previously worked in food marketing in Ireland and the US, contributing to the global expansion of the Kerrygold brand.
