The Atlantic Philanthrophies has given two grants to help promote philanthropy in
Ireland. Described as ‘out-of’programme’ grants, one will support an annual lecture
promoting philanthrophy while the other grant will provide core funding for an organisation
working to improve the tax regime for charitable giving. 
Philanthrophy Ireland,
the association of grant making trusts in Ireland, has been given ‚€130,000 over
10 years for the Ray Murphy Memorial Lecture. Ray Murphy was a key figure in philanthrophy
in Ireland and the USA and worked with Atlantic Philanthropies in its early days
in Ireland.

Tax Reform Ltd which campaigns to make the Irish tax system more favourable for 
charitable giving.

 

 

Out-of-programme grants refer to grants not in the Atlantic Philanthropies core 
giving programme which supports Ageing, Disadvantaged Children and Youth, Population
Health and Reconciliation and Human Rights.
