Philanthropy and Charities
Our Private Wealth Group advises individual philanthropists, charities, and other not-for-profit organisations on a wide range of legal and tax issues including appropriate structures to facilitate their philanthropic or charitable endeavours, (such as charitable trusts and foundations, charitable companies and donor advised funds) and available tax reliefs.
The Group advise international charities establishing operations in Ireland on a variety of issues, including registering with the Charities Regulatory Authority of Ireland (“CRA”) and ensuring that they meet their annual statutory compliance obligations once registered. We also advises charities on obtaining charitable tax status with the Irish Revenue Commissioners.
We are also adept at a range of applications to the Charities Regulatory Authority of Ireland’s Charity Services Committee, including cy-près applications.
