At The Irish Hospice Foundation we passionately believe that no one who is terminally ill should have to suffer. With the right specialised care and support everybody can live life to the fullest, right up to their dignified death. We passionately believe that Palliative Care should be available to everyone who needs it and we can only make this right a reality with the funds raised from our caring donors. We are always willing to discuss potential partnerships and would love to hear from you if you have a fundraising idea. The qualifying donation is treated as a deductible trading expense or as an expense of management deductible in computing the total profits of the company.
Tax relief is granted at the company's marginal rate of tax.
Covenants are a very important source of income for the Hospice Foundation. Because the donations are promised for a specific period of time they enable us to plan long-term. We also benefit because a covenant enables us to reclaim tax from the Inland Revenue. Assuming covenanted money is donated by an Irish taxpayer, we can reclaim the amount of tax payable on the gift. For example, is someone was to donate 100, the donation would actually be worth 135 to us once we had reclaimed the tax.
