Get Involved
As a self-funded charity, CRY Ireland depends solely on generous donations from individuals, communities and organisations. Currently we receive no government funding. These donations are crucial to allow us to continue assisting our communities making fundraising is essential to keep Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) running successfully and impacting thousands of lives every year.
We seek to enhance the awareness of what we do and build on our reputation as a leading voice for families affected by sudden cardiac death and those living with an inherited cardiac condition.
Growth in our services is contingent upon raising additional funding.

How your company can get involved
There are so many ways in which you and your company can help CRY Ireland.
This can range from nominating CRY to be a Charity for a year with your employer, allowing you and your colleagues to support CRY Ireland over the course of a year. If your company have a Corporate Social Responsibility Team please consider the nomination.
If you’re company have a grant programme – please consider nominating CRY.
We would love to have the opportunity to speak to the employees at your company to raise awareness about Sudden Cardiac Death. Reach out to us at info@cry.ie.
Sponsorship
We are constantly raising awareness for Sudden Cardiac Death through media campaigns, information meeting and our social media accounts and it is the support of companies like yours that can help us to cover the cost of this. Companies will be given the opportunity to align their brand with CRY Ireland Reach out to us at info@cry.ie.
Payroll Giving
This is a straight forward and effective way for employees to give something back to our charity directly from their salaries. Remember If you are a PAYE tax payer donations over €250 or more in any one year are eligible for tax relief. You don’t have to make this payment in one donation. They are cumulative so a standing order of €21.00 per month will bring you over the threshold. Please talk to your employer about Matched Giving.
