Also if I upped my donation to 50 euro a month would it be more tax beneficial to me ? someone told me i can get a tax credit for donations . Any info appreciated .
I never give to charities who's modus operandi is to fill the streets of Dublin with people with bibs who pester passers by.
much as i dont like being stopped during my lunchbreak I wouldn't hold that against them, they do need to raise money somehow,
the method's of raising money i really dislike is when folk come up to you in a pub with a bucket raising cash.
as for all the dodgy flyers i get thru the letter box for the latest dodgy crowd claiming to be a charity looking for you old clothes......grrrrr!!!!
For what its worth, Dublin Simon & Focus Ireland get my money

Having worked and travelled to some of the poorest countries in the world, I would see this as a minor and insignificant inconvenience....
dittoI have made once off donations to both. Trocaire sent a letter and receipt. Concern sent letter and receipt then a letter several times a year for next ten years or so looking for money. Now I prefer Unicef
Are you aware that these people are not well meaning volunteers, but professional money collectors who get paid a cut of the proceeds?
2 points, Charities to be succesful have to be run as businesses, to raise money they need to consider paying folk to do so.
secondly, a lot of Irish charities have suffered big drops in their traditional forms of collection/revnue in recent years not to mention reductions in numbers of voulenteers,{lower turn out at Churches around the country (for church gate colletctions) lots of scammers doing the rounds muscling in on collections of 2nd hand clothes} as a result Charities have had to resort to paying folk to raise money for them & other ideas such as the ever popular charity walk to Nepal or the great wall of china etc et which incur large enough advertising budgets but these are deemed necessary.

A girl I know was doing interviews for a job after finishing her degree in college - Trocaire came up trumps with the best salary of all the interviews she went for. It certainly made my mind up for where my charitable donations would not be going.
