There’s a way for your donation to go even further, providing life-changing support for families experiencing urgent need. When you choose to sign up for tax relief, charities receive an extra 45% on top of your donation, provided you’re eligible.

All we need is a moment of your time to complete the CHY3 enduring certificate, and we can claim tax relief on your donations for five years at no extra cost to you. Choosing to tax relief your donations is as easy as signing a form — but for the children and families served by Compassion, that simple decision can be a lifeline

Provide vital support for children and families facing hunger

Your tax relief donations empower local churches to respond where hunger is devastating families. In Burkina Faso, Joel’s family knows this reality all too well.

For generations, they relied on the rains for their crops. When the rains failed, hunger followed. Climate change has made this heartbreakingly common. Four years ago, Joel’s father, Jacques, left home in search of work, desperate to provide for his family.

On his return, Compassion’s local church stepped in. Jacques joined a farming training course, learned new techniques, received quality seeds and fertiliser, and discovered how to make organic manure and pesticides.

“Before the training, I thought there was only one way to farm,” Jacques says. “Now I’ve learned to produce healthy vegetables… Where I used to harvest three sacks of onions, this year I reaped five.”

Today, Jacques grows enough to feed his family and sells the surplus at market. Joel receives school and healthcare support, and his family has regained stability and hope. Joel dreams of using his education to help end hunger in his community.

Your simple choice to complete a CHY3 form can help more families like Joel’s thrive.

What your tax relief means

More lives are changed when you choose to tax-relief your donations. If you sign up for tax relief today, we’ll be able to claim around €810 per sponsorship over five years from the Revenue at no cost to you.

How you can help

If you’re a taxpayer in Ireland and you’re donating more than €250 annually to Compassion Ireland, your donations could go 45% further with Tax Relief at no extra cost to you.

All you need to do is fill out a CHY3 tax form. It’s valid for five years and doesn’t commit you to make any donations in the future. It just means that you’ll allow us to claim tax back for any year you gave €250 or more within the past four years.  

Tax Relief enables your donations to go even further, supporting Compassion Ireland to empower project partners across the world to serve children and their families in poverty. Within a few minutes, you can help bring hope and positive change to children, their families, and sometimes to entire communities as well.
