We partner with forward-thinkers who realise new thinking in Ireland is needed and want to make a lasting difference for communities across this country. Social impact is a team sport that requires investment in growth that does not leave our people and our planet behind.

Our Impact

Since 2016, Rethink Ireland has launched 58 funds, providing awards and business supports to 448 social innovations across Ireland. Our venture philanthropy model is based on providing additional business supports, ensuring the innovations we invest in build their organisational capacity to maximise their social impact.

Our commitment to system change has been central to our mission at Rethink Ireland, and it makes us immensely proud that these social innovations have supported more than one million people affected by the critical social issues impacting education, equality, green transition, and health.

Who do we partner with?

Government

The Government of Ireland has supported us from the beginning with an initial donation of €250,000. Since then, the Government has pledged to match any philanthropic funds raised by us, primarily through the Department of Rural and Community Development via the Dormant Accounts Fund. This means our partners’ donations are worth so much more. We have also received match funding and other forms of funding from the Department of Social Protection, the HSE, and the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth. We have the track record of delivering high impact social change in the communities we serve.

Companies

We work closely with home-grown Irish companies no matter what size and multinational companies who are based in Ireland who share our view that lasting change demands new thinking. We know how best to guide and support you to drive social impact in the communities that are most in need.

Trusts and Foundations

We use our expertise to guide and work closely with Trusts and Foundations that share Rethink Ireland’s core mission of supporting social innovations to grow and maximise their impact. Together we can increase your social impact in the communities you wish to serve who are most in need.

Families and Individuals

We have collaborated with many incredible Irish families and individuals who are passionate about giving back. We particularly love to work with leaders who want to give back to their local communities – Give Where You Live is a guiding principle of how we operate at Rethink Ireland. We work closely with you to ensure that your donation is used according to your wishes.

We’re proud to work with bold, courageous and compassionate leaders who seek to invest in social change. Learn more about our partners here.
