The Community Foundation for Ireland is calling for nominations for the inaugural
Philanthropist of the Year awards. CFI will hold the inaugural the awards event 
on November 15th, with the deadline for nominations October 12th.

The awards will provide recognition for outstanding achievements by individuals
whose giving helps society. The Community Foundation hopes this will encourage others
to become donors in the future.

Ireland has become a wealthy country and is undoubtedly a charitable nation but 
philanthropy is just starting to flourish here, according to CFI. There are two 
award categories – the first for philanthropy in Ireland and the second for philanthropy
by Irish people overseas.

for Ireland said.

Nominations can be made by charities, community groups and the public at large.
