Social Services - Giving Ireland Webinar

The Giving Ireland 2021 report launched last week, indicates the Social Services subsector saw an increase in fundraised income by 2%, in 2018-2019.
Total Giving in Ireland was €1.78 billion, as a percentage of GDP (Gross Domestic Product), that equates to 0.5% GDP, for that period.

When compared to the UK, if the Irish nonprofit sector fulfilled its potential in attracting sources of philanthropic support to a similar level as the UK (their GDP rate is 0.84%), Irish overall Giving could increase to approx €2.99 billion. If we were to focus on the Social Services subsector’s current fundraising trends relative to other subsectors, this represents approximately an additional €100 million in fundraised income for the Social Services subsector alone. How can we close this gap?

We will look in more detail at the funding of the Social Services subsector, its trends relative to other subsectors and discuss the impact of Covid (2019 is the last full year of pre-covid stats, so it’s the baseline for comparison when assessing Covid impact).
