The IFI is a unique organisation

the home of film in Ireland.

If the IFI has enriched your love of film, please help support our work. A donation, however large or small, makes all the difference.

Whilst we gratefully receive 25% public funding from the Arts Council, we self-generate 75% of the revenue needed to run all these activities. As a charity, we rely on individual donations, trust and foundations, and corporate partnerships to continue to develop our wide-ranging and far-reaching programmes of cinema exhibition, archive preservation, and education.

Our big ambitions are:

• To digitise the entire Archive collection - 30,000 cans of film, 10,000 broadcast tapes - and make them available online
• To create national films clubs for young people after school
• To continue to make the best films available to audiences - over half the films we screen are exclusive to the IFI and would not otherwise be available to audiences in Ireland

There are many ways in which you or your company can become involved in the IFI and support our work. Please contact Louise O'Reilly, Acting Head of Public Affairs and Development, to find out more: loreilly@irishfilm.ie. / 01 679 5744.

We value every donation, and we are committed to the highest levels of transparency in how we spend state and private contributions. The IFI has adopted the Statement of Guiding Principles on Fundraising, available here.

Donations of €250 or more may enable you to reclaim the tax back on your donation to the IFI; critically, the IFI will also benefit from the tax relief, adding a significant 31% to your donation. For example, with a donation of €250, the IFI will receive €327.50. The law governing tax on donations changed in January 2013. Donations of above €250 are grossed up at the specified rate (currently 31%) and the eligible charity is deemed for the purposes of the relief to have received the grossed up amount net of tax deducted at the specified rate. This applies for both PAYE and those who are Self Assessed. Please visit www.revenue.ie for further information or contact the Development Office for details: loreilly@irishfilm.ie / 01 679 5744.
