Rethink Ireland has invested €109m in 448 projects impacting more than one million people in Ireland. Its CEO Deirdre Mortell says it is only beginning while Helene Hugel explains how it gave Helium Arts the ability to help sick children nationally.
The billionaire's €32m donation rightly made a splash, but is it out-of-step with budding models of philanthropy which take a beneficiary-first approach?
Founded by Eric Kinsella, Jones Engineering is one of Ireland’s largest engineering firm. It is also one of its most profitable, as evidenced by new filings from the company.
Managing director of Benefacts Patricia Quinn discusses the findings of new analysis that shows contributions from private individuals have been in decline for decades. Research co-authors Dr Oonagh Breen of UCD and Dr James Carroll of Trinity College also join the conversation.
