A sample from leading Irish charities shows that legacy income has grown by 118%
between 1999 and 2004. The sample was part of a legacy study undertaken by the Public
Communications Institute’s David Duggan.
In 1999 legacy income for the sample charities
was ‚€5.4 million and had grown to ‚€11.7 million by 2004. In the last year the 
increase has been more modest at 6.7 percent.

The St Vincent de Paul Society is the star preformer in legacy income raising ‚€
24.7 million over the last five years, including ‚€5.5 million in 2004. Trocaire
comes in at second on the list with a total of ‚€8.7 million between 1999 and 2004.

The community/anti-poverty and international/human rights groups of organisations
share the bulk of legacy income.

One of the main insights of the ‘Legacy Snapshot’ according to PCI is to confirm
that legacy funding for Irish charities seems to be substantially less when compared
to their UK peers.

The full report will be available on the PCC website on 18th December.
