Charities Institute Ireland

Community
- Many charities operate in an environment where they are contracted to the state to deliver services on a commissioning/competitive tendering basis. As a sector, we are increasingly getting feedback from charities that this cost-driven model is unsustainable. Research indicates that price-driven services can result in poorer quality or less service for service users. Typically, many contracts exclude essential “overhead” costs such as governance and the need to engage professional employees.
