 in 1961 in tribute to the work of the humanitarian Dr. Tom Dooley. It continues his work for sick people in the Developing World.

The fund is based in Dublin and is intentionally small. It is maintained by a large number of people who can provide only a little of their time but who are eager to give that time for the benefit of those who (in Dr Dooley's own words) "just ain't got it so good".
