fulfill our core Hibernian values and enhance our legacy. We are very proud of our
impact in many local communities and the investment in our culture through these
outstanding initiatives.

We thank our Brothers for their consistent contributions which make Charity and Missions so
successful. Our goal is for more members to participate every year and we hope you’ll consider
supporting this effort this year.

We respectfully request your consideration of our Hibernian Charity Appeal with a tax-
deductible donation today!
Each gift makes a difference. With your financial support
the Ancient Order of Hibernians will continue to promote our faith, our Irish culture, our
concern for community, and our unwavering aspiration for a free and United Ireland.

If you are subject to a Required Minimum Distribution(RMD) by the IRS, consider a
qualified charitable distribution (QCD) by transferring assets directly from your IRA to a
qualified charity. A QCD can satisfy all or part of your Required Minimum Distribution
(RMD) from your IRA, and you can exclude up to $105,000 of QCDs from your taxable
income per taxpayer in 2024, which can help lower your tax bill and may lower your
cost of Medicare. Hibernian Charity is a Qualified Charity.

Please make all checks payable to “Hibernian Charity” or visit our website
https://secure.qgiv.com/for/hibcha to make a secure online donation today. If paying
through an IRA, the check must be direct from the IRA.
If you wish, gifts more than $50
may be directed to a specific charity program of your choosing.

Charities and Missions Update – June 2020 https://aoh.com/2020/06/02/charities-and-missions-update-june-2020/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=charities-and-missions-update-june-2020 https://aoh.com/2020/06/02/charities-and-missions-update-june-2020/#respond Tue, 02 Jun 2020 16:48:38 +0000 https://aoh.com/?p=8273

In this time of continued uncertainty brought on by the COVID virus, and the civil unrest currently unfolding in cities around our country, our continued focus on extending charity, supporting unity, and reinforcing old and building new friendships is increasingly important. It bears repeating, that the Ancient Order of Hibernians has always risen to the challenge of providing for those in need. Whether it be money, food, time, clothing–even support of civility among our fellow Americans, members of the Ancient Order have risen to the occasion. In these trying times we have bothers acting as first responders protecting property and responding to the call brought on by violent protests. We also have brothers protesting peacefully in support of protecting life and civil treatment of all our fellow citizens. Both must be thanked and respected for serving their respective missions. Serving humanity and the humane treatment of all is the Light Jesus brought to us and taught us to emulate.

We share in the responsibility to serve those in righteous need and to continue to fulfill our mission to promote Friendship, Unity, and Christian Charity among all our worldly brothers and sisters. Please help those who need it, whether it be cleaning up after ignorant selfish and violent rioters, dropping food off at a food pantry, serving food to the hungry, volunteering at a pregnancy and aid center, coach & mentor the disadvantaged, build houses with Habitat for Humanity, and donate to funds that educate children, seminarians, and others in need. There are many ways we can serve others and too many who need our service and financial support. Donate to Hibernian Charities by sending your checks to

    Hibernian Charity
    P.O. Box 694
    Austin, TX 78767

Write checks to Hibernian Charity with the intention of your donation in the memo section (Project St. Patrick, Irish History, Study Abroad, Catastrophic Relief.) You can also donate with PayPal by sending money to hiberniancharities@gmail.com writing your intention in the “add a note” section.

Charities and Missions Update – April 2020 https://aoh.com/2020/04/02/charities-and-missions-update-april-2020/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=charities-and-missions-update-april-2020 Thu, 02 Apr 2020 11:08:02 +0000 https://aoh.com/?p=7175 As we all do our best to stay healthy, pray for those brothers and sisters impacted by the Covid-19 virus, we are looking forward to our convention in July. The Charities and Missions report at the convention will focus on a summary of the good works of The Order, the timelines and requirements for submissions of local, county, and state reports. We will also highlight potential changes in regard to a common reporting template, hourly rates for volunteer time and who we can count in our submissions for volunteer time. I would also encourage anyone who has questions or suggestions regarding our Charities and Missions efforts to email me at docsnorton2@gmail.com.

The Covid-19 virus has, like any other crisis, brought out the best of our Hibernian Sisters and Brothers. Efforts to coordinate deliveries to those in need have been established by Hibernians in localities across our nation. Some through Parishes, in coordination with Catholic Charities, and other Irish American Organizations. We are always there for those in need, whether it be financial assistance, prayerful support, restocking of food pantries, or basic household needs, our brothers and sisters are delivering what is needed, with their own hands and vehicles to those in need. I’d like to thank any and all those offerings of a little and a lot in this time of great need. I am looking forward to sharing a report of our activities and hearing your ideas for more at our biennial convention in July at the beautiful Rosen Center in Orlando, Florida.

Please make use of our Hibernian Charities for your financial donations by sending checks made out to Hibernian Charities using the memo line for direction to Project St. Patrick, Disaster Relief, Hibernian Hunger, Study Abroad Scholarships, Irish History, Medal of Honor Grove or leave blank for distribution to be decided by the Hibernian Charities Board of Trustees.
