Ireland lost its only window into the nonprofit sector

When Benefacts closed in 2022, Ireland lost the most comprehensive dataset on its civil society. The Charities Regulator covers only a third of what existed. Four years on, the gap remains. SectorPulse fills it, this time built to last.

First comprehensive database of Irish nonprofits. Government-funded.

2022 — Benefacts winds up
