Intelligent Giving

Giving may be good, but good giving isn’t easy. Intelligent giving involves attention to issues of efficiency and effectiveness; consideration of method and timing; and understanding how best you can achieve your charitable objectives. The Community Foundation for Northern Ireland can help on all three counts making your giving easy and rewarding.

As a sophisticated financial institution the Community Foundation for Northern Ireland is in the business of connecting people who care with causes that matter, and matching donor intent with need on the ground. We offer simplicity combined with flexibility in how donations are used and add value through availing of tax incentives and in-depth knowledge of the voluntary and community sector – and in particular offer broad experience of works and why, what doesn’t and why not.
