It is up to a charity to apply to be listed, and to meet the eligibility criteria. Certain charities that approached me for money in the past either had a blank look on their face when asked if they were eligible, or said that they hadn't bothered applying. I took the view that rather than give to them, I would give to an alternative eligible charity and see the taxman uplift my donation by 45%. Others never followed up, i.e. didn't complete the necessary paperwork to receive the uplift, so I dropped them from future donations. If you have a particular charity in mind I suggest that you ask them if they are eligible. Personally, having had some less than satisfactory experiences with "pop up" charities and other small scale operations, I tend to give to the two I mentioned previously, (MSF and UNICEF) for crisis and emergency relief, as they appear focussed with good governance and a good ratio of funds reaching their endpoint, but that a personal preference.@Freelance thanks for the information. I would have thought that given the dire situation Ukraine is in and that Ireland has taken so many Ukranian refugees that at the very least charities within Ukraine that are directly helping keeping the country operational should be included in this list?
