A new website has been set up to help improve the public’s knowledge of how charities
work in Ireland. GoodCharity.ie says it wants to improve the debate around charities
in Ireland.

“We realised that the general public and media were hungry for accurate information
about how charities work, so we decided to develop this website as a positive step
forward,” according to the [GoodCharity](http://www.goodcharity.ie) website.

The website provides links to official information sources such as the charities
act, registration of charity numbers and company search. Other links are provided
to guidance sources such as details on salaries, administration costs and financial
reporting.

The ‘Frequently asked Questions’ section of the Good Charity website also addresses
issues such as ‘why we need charities,’ ‘why there are so many charities ‘ and the
topical issue of charity CEO salaries.

The website lists five organisations as founder members – Dochas, Fundraising Ireland,
Total Fundraising, The Wheel and Whitebarn Consulting.
