Waterford people invited to nominate climate charities to receive €5,000

Ecclesiastical Insurance Ireland is inviting people to nominate a climate and environment charity to receive €5,000 as part of Benefact Group’s Movement for Good Awards.

The special draw is designed for charities whose core charitable purpose is the protection of climate and the environment. Nominations for the climate and environment charity special grants are open from Monday 17 July to Friday 21 July.

It’s quick and easy to nominate a climate and environment charity online at climate.movementforgood.com.

Winners will be drawn at random and the more times a charity is nominated the more chance it has of being selected.

The Movement for Good Awards has supported numerous Irish charities in the past with previous winners including: Common Ground in Dublin, Eco Unesco, Global Action Plan and Leave No Trace Ireland.

Siobhán Geoghegan, Director at Common Ground, said: “In 2021, we received the news of being selected as one of the Movement for Good Awards winners and we were over the moon. The grant has made a significant difference to the work we are doing locally to address climate change through combining arts and local greening initiatives.

Once again, we extend our sincere thanks to Ecclesiastical Insurance for creating such a wonderful initiative that benefits Irish charities like ours. I also would like to invite other organisations to apply for this special grant focused on causes that protect the environment," she continued.
