Making a Difference

Team ILFA logoWe are extremely grateful to everyone who fundraises for us and continue to be inspired by the innovative fundraising events that take place to support our vital work. Sincere thanks to all who donate, organise events or undertake a personal fundraising challenge in our name. We appreciate all you do!

ILFA is committed to treating all our donors with respect, honesty, and openness. We commit to being accountable and transparent in every aspect of our work so that our donors and prospective donors can have full confidence, high expectations and trust in the way in which we run our organisation. For more information, see the Donor Charter of the Irish Lung Fibrosis Association.

ILFA is also committed to and fully compliant with the good fundraising principles contained within the Statement of Guiding Principles for fundraising that can be found here https://www.charitiesinstituteireland.ie/uploads/default/files/5_603292d04d66f.pdf

Our Donation Acceptance Policy

Our policy is to accept funding from any donor provided that acceptance does not:

  • Impair our independence;
  • Impede our ability to pursue our aims;
  • Endanger our integrity and reputation.

We’re here to help

If you have a fundraising idea, we would love to hear from you. We can offer help and advice about the logistics of fundraising and getting started.  We also have ILFA merchandise that we can provide you with and a fundraising pack.

We would love to share the news of your fundraising event and photos online and in the ILFA newsletter, if this appeals to you. You might even inspire others to take on their own fundraising challenge. See the latest ILFA newsletters for an update on some recent fundraising activities.

Please contact ILFA on 086 871 5264 or email info@ilfa.ie for all your fundraising queries.

Giving in Remembrance

Thank you to the families who requested donations to ILFA in lieu of flowers at the funerals of loved ones to honour their memory. We are always humbled by the capacity of people to think of ILFA at times of deep personal loss. Thank you for your kind support. Please contact us if you would like any help or advice.

Giving in Celebration

Celebrate your special occasion by asking family and friends to make a donation to ILFA instead of buying you gifts. Enjoy your birthday, wedding or special anniversary celebrations knowing that you’re supporting ILFA’s work. Please contact ILFA if you would like information on how we can support you to support us.

Wedding Favours

ILFA will provide you with beautiful cards for the tablets at your reception informing your guests that a donation has been made to ILFA in lieu of wedding favours. Please contact us in advance of your special day so we can work with you to design and print the cards. We’re grateful to all the couples who make a donation and raise awareness on their special day.

Legacy Giving

A legacy gift or a charitable legacy is a donation left to a charity in an individual’s will. If you are making your will or updating it, please consider leaving a legacy gift to ILFA after you have looked after your loved ones. All amounts would be greatly appreciated and will be used to help ILFA continue our work supporting lung fibrosis patients. As an added benefit, all legacy gifts are excluded from inheritance tax. If legacy giving is something you would like to do, please update your will to reflect your decision and ensure that your wishes are carried out in the future. Thank you!
