About Us

The Community Foundation for Ireland seeks to inspire donors and support charities and community groups. Established in 2000 we have made grants on behalf of donors of over €12 million, mostly in Ireland.

VitalSigns 2013

VitalSigns is a report card on the vitality of the nation. It grades twelve key issue areas that affect the quality of life of those who live, work, play and learn in Ireland.

Philanthropist of the Year Awards

These awards aim to recognise extraordinary individuals who have shown outstanding leadership in the area of personal philanthropy and who have made a remarkable difference in bringing about sustainable social change

Setting up a fund at The Community Foundation

Individuals, families and other organisations can establish their charitable fund at The Community Foundation. We can then facilitate consistent and planned charitable giving through the expertise of our grants team

Developing Community Capital

Developing ‘community capital’ through the establishment of permanent endowment funds is central to our ethos. Our Grassroots grants scheme allows us to fund local community groups and charities right around the country not only now but continually into the future.

Our Grants

The Community Foundation for Ireland is an independent grant-making organisation. With over a decade of experience in dealing with community, voluntary and charitable organisations we are well placed to assess the needs of various communities and grant funding accordingly.
