Nominees for the national and international awards should be individuals in their own right, not companies, or people working for companies that are making a donation. The nominees can either be living in Ireland or be philanthropists whose generosity has an impact directly on Ireland.
Nominees should be people who themselves have made a personal financial contribution. Volunteers or fundraisers who raise funds from others are not eligible.
For the corporate award, nominations should provide details of the person most responsible for that firm’s philanthropy as well as details for the Chief Executive.
Queries about the Community Foundation for Ireland awards should be directed to Jackie Harrison on 01 874 3818 or email: jh*******@********on.ie.
Nominations close 30th October 2015.
