My Department provides funding to organisations based upon their service or other contribution rather than their charitable status per se. Funding is provided to many organisations through the National Lottery fund for various projects in any given year. Most of these organisations would have charity status. A list of the organisations that received lottery funding in 2010 is available on the Department of Health & Children website at www.dohc.ie.
In addition, the HSE provides funding to a large number of voluntary organisations for services, many of these organisations would also have charity status. The HSE also operates its own National Lottery scheme. Details of all the organisations funded by the HSE are set out in its Annual Financial Statements.
