We share your vision for a better Ireland. Leaving a gift in your will means you can still help causes and communities you care about today and tomorrow.
The social problems we face today, such as climate change, social inequality, and homelessness, have no quick fix. Together we can act to make long term change happen.
How To Leave A Gift In Your Will
To leave a charitable gift in your will, advise your solicitor or legal adviser that you wish to include a percentage or fixed amount of your estate to ‘The Community Foundation for Ireland’, including Charity No: CHY 13967; Charities Regulator Number: 20044886.
You can also advise that your gift is to be used towards one of our focus areas, such as Youth, Women or Older People, or you may wish to set up a named fund to manage your legacy after you’re gone. Please contact us to learn more about these options. Learn more about giving through the Community Foundation of Ireland here.
Hugh Leonard Literary Fund
"Whether its funding the things that are important to me, the performing arts of environmental issues, I can’t predict where the need will be after I’m gone but I am content that the Community Foundation will. They are the literary executors of the will, in essence, and that gives me great piece of mind. I’m not now painting my estate into a corner.”
Danielle Byrne, Daughter of Playwright Hugh Leonard
Planning For Longterm Impact
Because we are a community foundation, we are here to champion social change for the long term, whether in our lifetime or the next.
You may be concerned that a particular organisation you support will not be around many years from now. We can use your gift to fund the causes you care about, even if some charities merge or close over time.
Rigorous governance standards mean that every grant is monitored, so you and your loved ones have peace of mind knowing your money is well spent.
Leaving a gift in your will means we can respond quickly as needs emerge. Your generosity will be part of a lasting legacy that brings about a more compassionate, fairer Ireland.
