The National Philanthropy Policy for Ireland 2024-2028 was launched on 13 December 2023.
The purpose of this Policy is to deepen understanding and knowledge, create an enabling environment and accelerate engagement with philanthropy in Ireland for social good.
This Policy is a recognition by Government of the value of philanthropy and a statement of intent to collaborate and support the development of philanthropy to maximise its potential for public good.
The Policy focuses on 5 key objectives:
1. Communication and Awareness Raising
2. Data and Research
3. Stimulating and Incentivising Philanthropy
4. Government and Sectoral Partnership
5. Capacity Building
The Policy sets out a series of 21 actions across these objectives for the development of philanthropy over a 5 year period, 2024-2028. An extensive review of the Policy will take place after 3 years, which will facilitate an evaluation of progress with a view to updating it where necessary.
