Methodology

Donor dependency

Calculated as (Donations + Bequests) ÷ Gross Income from the most recent annual report on file. Charities with zero or missing gross income are excluded. A value of 100% means the entire reported income came from individual donations and bequests; 0% means none.

Trustee name matching

Trustee names are grouped using basic normalisation: honorifics (Mr, Mrs, Ms, Dr, Prof, Rev, etc.) and trailing punctuation are stripped, whitespace is collapsed, and the result is Title-Cased. This means "Mr John Smith" and "John Smith" are correctly grouped — but two genuinely different people with the same normalised name will collide and appear as a single trustee. True entity resolution (using addresses, dates, or other signals to disambiguate identical names) is on the roadmap.

"Philantrophic" typo

The income column "Income: Philantrophic Organisations" is reproduced verbatim from the source dataset, where the word is misspelled. We have preserved the original spelling in our database to make audit and reconciliation against the source easier.

County normalisation

The raw address field is highly variable. We extract the county by scanning each address part, normalising punctuation/case, mapping Irish-language names (e.g. Corcaigh → Cork, Baile Átha Cliath → Dublin) and matching against the canonical list of 26 Republic of Ireland counties. Dublin postal districts (Dublin 1–24) are rolled up into Co. Dublin.
