150 Year Anniversary Programme

Making a donation

The National Gallery of Ireland is a national institution and state funding supports the core day to day operations, enabling free access to our permanent collection for over 360 days of the year. However, the Gallery relies on the generosity of our patrons and visitors to support the following key areas
  • Research
  • Conservation
  • Education
  • Exhibitions
  • Acquisitions

Individual support
Individuals wishing to make a donation to the National Gallery of Ireland can place a cash donation in one of the donation boxes placed around the Gallery. Alternatively a cheque can be sent, made payable to the National Gallery of Ireland to the Development Office, Merrion Square West, Dublin 2, with contact details for verification of receipt.

Donations of €250 upwards are eligible for full tax rebate. For example, a payment of €250 from a higher rate PAYE payer will allow the National Gallery of Ireland to claim an additional €181 from the revenue commissioners.
