Why report sector trends?
Reporting on the sector informs organisations on relevant issues facing the social economy and enables evidence-informed decisions.
Giving Ireland
Giving Ireland is a collaboration between 2into3 and Philanthropy Ireland, seeking to provide a platform for the sector that will foster collaboration, provide insights and encourage collective action.
