What is Benefacts?
Benefacts is a public database of civil society organisations in Ireland. For the first time in Ireland, we are providing extensive information about these organisations in a free public website.
How does Benefacts work?
Benefacts brings together public data from many sources. Benefacts cleans, refines and publishes this data online for easy access.
Why is this important?
Having an organised database of these organisations helps to reduce duplication of work, and promotes trust through greater disclosure of civil society organisations.
