New charity websites launched
Howard Lake | 2 November 2006 | News
New websites to help promote legacy giving and to support charities with shops have been launched in Ireland this week. Both sites are the initiative of a range of organisations representing most of the big names in the Irish charity world.
Legacy Promotion Ireland (LPI), which has developed www.legacypromotion.ie/legacy, is the first consortium of charities that have come together to encourage people to leave a donation to their favourite charitable organisation in their will.
LPI was established in 2003 by a small group of charities that wished to spread the word about charitable bequests. Since then LPI has grown and now represent over 30 leading Irish charities and not-for-profit organisations.

The site provides unbiased, useful information to individuals, charities and solicitors about leaving bequests to charities but does not solicit specific gifts or bequests for individual organisations.
The charity shop website, www.icsa.ie, aims to develop good practice in charity shops. ICSA will also promote charity shops amongst the general public and monitor Irish and EU policy and legislative changes that will affect charity retailing.
