Conclusion of Superbly Successful GoFundMe Project Approaches

As we approach the conclusion on 30th Nov. 2025 of our current fundraising supporting Millstreet Museum & Millstreet Community Website we are delighted to report that due to the absolutely tremendous generosity of so many people and organisations it now appears that the final amount donated which we shall share on our final update, will guarantee coverage for the next four years once costs remain relatively stable.   A million thanks from all the Website and Museum Team for such greatly appreciated generosity.   

UPDATE: As we approach the conclusion of our hugely successful GoFundMe project on Sunday night, 30th Nov. 2025 we wish to extend heartfelt sincere thanks for such greatly appreciated support which together with further funds which have been presented by hand or bank transfer will most likely cover our expenses for the next four years. While I’ve already communicated personal thanks with a number of our very kind Donors I hope to contact all over the next fortnight. Renewed thanks to All and to the GoFundMe Company who make this amazing fundraising facility available. Our many Volunteers are thrilled with the superb success of our fundraising project. Every good wish – Seán Radley (29th Nov. 2025)

Final Day of Phenomenal GoFundMe Project for Millstreet Museum and Millstreet Website

As we reach our final day (Tuesday, 4th Aug. 2020) of the GoFundMe fundraising project in aid of Millstreet Museum and Millstreet Website we are so totally amazed at the superb generosity of so many wonderfully kind Supporters locally, nationally and internationally.  Presently with fees deducted our total in the GoFundMe Project is €4879.59.  The phenomenal response far exceeds our expectations and will truly afford us the opportunity to maintain and, above all, to further develop our services. In addition to our GoFundMe campaign further generous Supporters have sent donations by post and also delivered by hand. We shall share on our website the final amount donated on this coming Thursday. While we have sent a personal thank you message to all our GoFundMe Contributors we wish to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has so very kindly responded to this annual appeal for the Museum and Website. Sincerely – Seán Radley, Curator, Millstreet Museum and Millstreet Website Team Member. [read more …] “Final Day of Phenomenal GoFundMe Project for Millstreet Museum and Millstreet Website”
