ESM Charitable Group Donations

Our annual Emerald Society membership dues pay for the “day to day” of conducting charitable business (i.e.: fees, printing costs, etc.). We take great care to separate these dues from charitable donations, so all money raised and donated goes directly to our selected causes. In 2024, we are asking for an “annual appeal”, in addition to our annual dues. If you wish to contribute above your base dues, that money will go to support that specific cause. 


The following are several examples of what you can choose to support:

  • Emerald (memorial) Fund: Flowers and sympathy cards for member funerals.
  • Forever Remembered Fund: Gift Card support for MN Law Enforcement and their families in need.
  • Heritage Fund: Direct support of our cause to provide a bagpipe band for LODD.
  • General Donation: Used for charitable causes the board has determined needs to be met.
  • Fitz Scholarship Fund: Used to supplement our annual donation to the Center for Irish Music’s Timothy J. Fitzgerald Memorial Scholarship.

Your donation to the ESM Charitable Group, Inc. is fully tax deductible.

Fitzgerald "Fitz" Memorial Scholarship Fund ~ all monies donated to this fund will be added to the Emerald Society's annual donation to the Center for Irish Music's Fitz Memorial Scholarship. T Timothy "Fitz" Fitzgerald was involved with the early formation of our Emerald Society of Minnesota. while getting a beverage at the Dubliner in St. Paul, Fitz overheard our Founding President Jack Davy talking about the newly formed Emerald Society. Discussion led to talks of a pipe band and the rest is history. Fitz was very involved behind the scenes in the Irish Community and with our Emerald Society. Fitz sadly passed away on March 3rd, 2020. The Center for Itish Music set up the Fitz Memorial Scholarship shortly after his passing. We honor Fitz's memory and contributions by supporting his scholarship.
