We are delighted to share that the Mater Hospital Foundation has been shortlisted for the People’s Choice Award at the Charities Institute Ireland Charity Excellence Awards 2025.
This is a very special recognition, decided by you. That means it is a celebration of you, our supporters, and the incredible difference you make every day for patients and families in the Mater Hospital.
Why your vote matters
Every year, thousands of patients turn to the Mater Hospital during some of the most vulnerable and frightening times of their lives. The Foundation exists to ensure they are met with excellent medical care, dignity, compassion, and comfort.
From funding vital equipment like an ultrasound machine in the Emergency Department, to creating calmer, more supportive spaces for families, every project we deliver is made possible by the generosity of our community. Your support helps us respond quickly to urgent needs, bring hope to difficult moments, and ensure that the Mater continues to be a place of healing and humanity.
Being shortlisted for the People’s Choice Award is a recognition of that impact. And with your vote, we can shine an even brighter light on what generosity makes possible in healthcare.
A vote for the Mater is a vote for patients
Winning this award would not simply be a moment of pride for The Foundation. It would be a moment of recognition for every person who has ever:
- Given a donation to improve patient care.
- Shared their story to inspire others.
- Supported a fundraising event or campaign.
You have helped shape the Mater into more than a hospital. You have made it a place where extraordinary care happens every day. This award would honour that collective spirit and amplify our ability to do even more for patients in the years to come.
How to vote
Voting is quick, simple, and open to everyone.
Your vote helps us continue to raise awareness of the urgent needs faced by patients and families every day in the Mater.
Celebrating all charities
While we are thrilled to be nominated, we also want to take this opportunity to congratulate all the other charities shortlisted for the Charity Excellence Awards. Across Ireland, countless organisations work tirelessly to support those in need, strengthen communities, and drive positive change. It is an honour to stand alongside them.
Thank you for standing with us
At its heart, this nomination is not about us — it is about you. Every ward we help, every piece of equipment we fund, and every family we support is powered by the generosity and compassion of people who believe in the mission of the Mater Hospital Foundation.
Thank you for making extraordinary care possible. Thank you for helping us create moments of dignity and comfort when they are needed most. And thank you, in advance, for taking a few moments to cast your vote.
Together, we can show just how powerful a community united in compassion can be.
