We connect nonprofits in Ireland with some of the world’s largest companies and their employees. By using technology to transform how charitable organisations receive funds, we free up their time and resources so they can focus on what matters — delivering community impact.

How are donations handled?

When people and companies donate to IOGF, they advise IOGF as to which charitable and nonprofit organisations in Ireland should receive support from the donation. The Foundation then receives the donation and aggregates all funds received and sends them to the recipient organisations monthly.

Although your donation is to IOGF and disbursements are within its discretion, your recommendation ordinarily results in a disbursement from IOGF - along with funds from other donors - to the donor-recommended organisation. In the unlikely event that a recommendation will not or cannot be followed for a particular organisation (e.g. it no longer exists, is no longer a nonprofit, does not accept the donation), IOGF will disburse the funds to a similar nonprofit organisation on your behalf.

How does IOGF help charities in Ireland?

IOGF’s primary purpose is to raise, aggregate and send charitable donations to nonprofit organisations as efficiently as possible.

Our commitment to reducing costs

IOGF is committed to reducing the costs of charitable giving by streamlining how donations are sent to charitable and nonprofit organisations. With a single aggregate monthly donation from IOGF, these organisations are no longer required to perform manually intensive administrative tasks, generate and distribute tax receipts or verify individual donations manually.

Have you received funds from IOGF?

You may be visiting this website because your organisation received a payment from IOGF. This was made possible by employees or customers of companies recommending support for your organisation using the Benevity online platform. The funds were then disbursed to you by IOGF and may represent one or more individual donations as well as matching funds and corporate grants from one or more companies.

We encourage you to complete your Cause Profile in the Benevity Causes Portal so you can access disbursements information and increase your opportunity to connect with additional donors.
