Every donation, no matter how small, makes a significant impact. Your contribution will directly support our programmes and services, making a difference in the lives of the people we work with. To donate, please visit our donation page – and please don’t forget to tell us why you chose to support MDI.

Tax Efficient Giving

n Ireland, tax-efficient giving offers a practical way for individuals to support charities while also receiving tax benefits. When you make a qualifying donation to an approved Irish charity, we can reclaim the tax on that donation. This means that if you're a taxpayer, your donation can be worth up to 45% more at no extra cost to you. For instance, if you donate €250 or more within a year, we can reclaim an additional €112.32 through tax relief, making your total contribution €362.32. By taking advantage of tax-efficient giving, you can make your donations go further. You can download a CHY form here or the Fundraising Support Team can send one out to you in the post.
