Donate to Arthritis Ireland
Donations
Our goal is a future where everyone with arthritis and those caring for them are empowered to take positive action to manage the effects of their disease and take their lives.
Here is how your donation can make a difference;
€100 pays for over 50 people to receive the information they need to better understand and manage their disease - as a person with arthritis who is informed about their condition is more likely to lead a better quality of life*
€500 pays for our trained volunteers to provide vital, practical and emotional support to over 40 people affected by arthritis via our Arthritis Helpline, LoCall 1890 252846.
€1000 will dramatically improve the quality of life of 2 people living with arthritis by teaching them how to take back control of their disease by attending one of our award winning Self Management Programmes

Rather than sending a once-off donation to Arthritis Ireland , you may wish to spread your gift throughout the year by setting up a direct debit. This type of donation is especially valuable to us because it enables us to sustain current projects while also planning for the future.
If you would like to set up a direct debit please phone Paula Hurley on tel. 01-6618188 and we will send you a mandate form in the post.
If you would like to make a donation by cheque, bank draft or postal order, please make it payable to Arthritis Ireland and post to:
Arthritis Ireland, 1 Clanwilliam Square, Grand Canal Quay, Dublin 2.
If you would like to donate to Arthritis Ireland using your credit card, you may call us on 01-6618188 or email e.info@arthritisireland.ie
Tax Benefits
The 2001 Finance Bill means that Arthritis Ireland can claim back the tax paid on donations of €250 or more in any one year by individuals who are on PAYE. Tax refunds are calculated at 41%, 20% or a combination of both depending on which rate is applicable. That means if you pay tax at the higher rate of 41%, a donation of €250 could be worth € 423.73 to Arthritis Ireland.
Donations are cumulative throughout the tax year, so a standing order of €21+ a month will take you over the €250 threshold. At the end of the year we will send you the appropriate form that we need to claim back the tax. Those who are self-assessed may claim back the tax that they have paid on donations, so in order to pass on the benefit to Arthritis Ireland please remember to take this into account when deciding what donation to make.
