For change.
For better.
For all.

With over 25 years expertise and experience, Community Foundation Ireland understands that philanthropy is informed, intentional and impactful. We, as experts, with the generous support of donors and the expertise of our community partners continue to use that force into the future to achieve positive change for all.

Giving strategically

Our expertise, network of partners and approach to funding enables our donors to maximise the impact of their funds.

Long-term

As a philanthropic hub we have the connectivity, knowledge and expertise to advise donors strategically to deliver systemic and societal change. We know philanthropy is different. It takes the longer term view.

Connected

The Community Foundation model uniquely connects us to communities. We have a network of 5,000 partners. Whether working locally on the ground, leading changemakers or delivering agenda-setting research, each of our partners share our equality mission.

Impactful

We are strategic. We deliver impact. We identify connections and solutions that others can’t yet see. Our work has a real long-term impact, delivering Inclusive Communities, Empowering Generations, Accelerating Change and securing Sustainable Futures.
