❓Could the United States be a viable philanthropic market for Irish sporting organisations?
📆 Join 2into3 and FIS on Tuesday, 9 June at 12:00 PM for a webinar aimed at members considering how to broaden their philanthropic horizons. We will also have, Bridget Murphy, CFRE, Principal at Graham-Pelton, one of the most established fundraising consultancies in the US, as a guest speaker.

The session will cover:
→ How American philanthropy works and why it differs from Ireland.
→ The realities, costs, and structures behind US philanthropic engagement.
→ What Irish sporting bodies should consider before pursuing the US market.
→ The common pitfalls — and where genuine opportunity lies.
