We have a National Philanthropy Policy

Credit where credit is due, the State has been steadfast in its support of the Creative Sector, particularly that much maligned but critically important sub sector of Bicycle Shed Creators.

That's the sort of philanthropy that makes me proud to be Irish.
 
"Community Foundation Ireland is taking a leading role in building a more equal and sustainable society. This leadership is rooted in collaboration. Our ambition is to deepen our impact and expand philanthropic participation to secure a fairer future for people, place and planet. This will require courage - standing up for what's right, challenging inequality and taking action even when it is difficult "

What a nonsensical virtue signalling embarrassing word salad.

Its like someone has swallowed a jargon handbook of corporate speak and then regurgitated it all out on one page.

At a glance, probably they do. The annual report is very transparent.

I don't know how these operating expenses compare with other organizations. The CEO is on a salary of 140k, same as Oxfam Ireland CEO based on my googling.

I kept thinking I was in a Monty Python sketch as I scanned through this stuff.

Did you not read Persia's comment above!?!? They take a leading role in building a more equal and sustainable society. This leadership is rooted in collaboration.

If that doesn't clear it up for you then I don't know what will :D

I might copy that for our ESG strategy in work. Sure why can't we also aim high, punch up and help to make the world a better place?

Now how do I get a grant for that?
