What is the connection to philanthropy?
CPD-Philanthropy stands for 'giving through learning'. We heavily discount our professional development rates on the premise that professionals, in conjunction with their firms, contribute to charities of their choice.
Who benefits?
- Charitable causes.
- 95 % of CPD-Philanthropy participants (2015) surveyed rated the impact that CPD-Philanthropy has on their attitude to attending CPD, positively.
- 90 % of CPD-Philanthropy participants (2015) surveyed rated the effectiveness of the contribution that CPD-Philanthropy makes to their organisation's Social Responsibility, positively.
- SMEs' CSR.
How can CPD-Philanthropy assist?
CPD-Philanthropy as a mechanism creates a positive correlation in two ways. Firstly, by providing Continuing Professional Development CPD and secondly, by supporting our attendees and their Firms' Social Responsibility. Philanthropic-giving and professional-development are in-situ.
We encourage this by offering excellence in Continuing Professional Development, CPD & Vocational Training at philanthropist discount rates while recommending that you donate the discount directly to your charity of choice.
The CPD-Philanthropy model was developed in 2014 by Armin Krautgasser as part of an MBA initiative with the Open University Business School.
Are there additional Tax incentives?
Under Section 848A of the Consolidation Act 1997, The Irish Revenue provides Tax Reliefs either to the registered charity receiving a donation that exceeds € 250.00 grossed up at 31% or relief to the company at corporation tax rate 12.5%.
