As part of the Charities Act 2009, organisations now need to apply to the CRA for charitable status. The act was implemented to reform the law relating to Irish charities and to bring about a greater degree of transparency and accountability to the charity sector.
StepIn, which provides supported living networks, has gone through the vetting process and been approved for charitable status under Section 39 of the Act. StepIn's Registered Charity Number is 20105525.
