All donations and fundraising come to St. Vincent's Healthcare Foundation, so we can use them where they are needed most. Should donors request a specific use for funds we allocate to that purpose, or get in touch if the request is outside of our mission and vision.  

Our funds are used through a grants process whereby medical staff can apply for funding for patient care, research or medical education. Small grants, under €10,000 are considered by members of our Executive Team and large grants, over €10,000, are considered and approved by our Board. By working directly with the clinical teams in our hospitals we can provide specialist equipment, technology and patient comforts as they are needed and can fund innovation, research and education for future care.   

Our accounts are audited annually and are available (here) and on the Charities Regulator Authority website. We are committed to openness and transparency in the use of all funds. 

Absolutely! You can donate online via this website here, by post, by lodging or electronically transferring funds to our account or in-person by appointment.

To give your donation in person, please call 01 221 5065 and we will arrange to meet you at St. Vincent’s University Hospital.    

If you would like to give a regular gift, either weekly, monthly or annually, we would be delighted to help set that up with you. You can do so via our website page here, or by completing a form which we can post to you, or you can pick up in our hospitals. Regular gifts are very valuable to us as they can help us plan and sustain our income. 

To get more involved, why not organise your fundraising with family, friends, school, team or colleagues? You can call us on 01 221 5065 for advice and information and set up your own page on idonate here. 

Funds raised through the platform are transferred to us directly and we will confirm receipt with you.   

As a small charity, we also welcome supporters that can champion us at work for corporate donations and nominations for partnerships. We would be delighted to hear from you if you would like to put us forward.  Simply call us on 01 221 5065, or send an email to stvincentsfoundation@svhg.ie

As a registered charity we can apply to Revenue for tax back on individual donations that add to €250 and above in a calendar year.  The donation must be a gift to us (not a sponsorship payment, event fundraising etc) and the donor must be an Irish tax resident. We can apply direct to Revenue and can receive up to 45% on top of your original donation.

If you would like to us apply in relation to your donation please complete the Revenue form, here and return to us. If you would like more information, please ask or see here

Corporate donations of €250 and above may be eligible for tax relief for the company. We will always provide a receipt to acknowledge your support and this can be passed to the company finance team / accountant for any submission they wish to make to Revenue.  

No, unfortunately we cannot accept donations of furniture, equipment, clothes or other items.  

Our hospitals operate under strict infection control measures so whilst we appreciate you thinking of us, we cannot accept these gifts.  If you have items of a sellable nature you can sell them and send us the proceeds as a donation.      

Yes, we receive many donations in memory of a loved one, or in honour of someone that is receiving, or has received, treatment in our hospitals.  

If you would like to give this way,  please share the details with us as, where appropriate, we let the medical team concerned know of your kindness.  

If you would like St. Vincent’s Foundation to receive donations in memory of a loved one who has died recently you can add our name and this link to our website (here) to the death notice / obituary notice.  We will acknowledge each individual donation and let the family know of the total received.  

If you would like to remember us in your will, please let your solicitor know and call us on 01 221 5065 for legacy information and guidance.
