Donegal one of highest number of registered charities in Ireland



Donegal had one of the highest number of registered charities in the country last year, according to a new report.

There were a total of 511 registered charities in Donegal in 2022, making it the fourth highest county in the country in terms of charity organisations.

Meanwhile, over 600 concerns were brought to the Charities Regulator last year.

One third related to concerns about governance, while a further third were about the legitimacy of certain charities.

The Regulator’s annual report for 2022 also showed 41% of registered charities failed to file their annual accounts on time, despite being legally bound to do so.
