The Community Foundation for Ireland is inviting nominations for its 2014 Philanthropist
of the Year Awards.

Categories for nominations include national, international and corporate philanthropist
of the Year. The awards, now in their seventh year, aim to publicly recognise people
and companies whose giving has made an outstanding and lasting contribution in their
communities and to society.

Nominations are invited from the general public, including community and voluntary
organisations, charities, welfare groups, arts and sports bodies, churches and foundations
that work in partnership with philanthropists and have knowledge of the value and
impact of the contribution and benefit that a donor has made.
