Join us for our upcoming virtual town hall, where we’ll share important updates and new initiatives shaping the future of the charity sector. This is a valuable opportunity to hear directly from the Charities Institute Ireland team, stay informed, and share your perspective.

What’s on the agenda?

CEO Welcome
An opportunity to formally welcome Scott Kelly as our new CEO and hear from him as he begins this next chapter with Cii. Scott will share a few thoughts on taking on the role, his priorities for the months ahead, and what he is looking forward to as we continue to develop and strengthen Cii together.

Cii Research
Building on the success of our 2025 research, we’re expanding the Fundraising Benchmarking Survey for 2026. Access to reliable fundraising data remains a major challenge for the nonprofit sector. This landmark research helps close a long-standing data gap, strengthening our collective ability to plan, collaborate, and grow.

New Cii website - what to expect
We’ll share an update on our new Cii website, which will launch in November and bring a much-improved online experience for members. As part of the move to the new system, all members will need to re-register and set up their new account. We’ll explain what’s changing, what members will need to do, and how we’ll support everyone through the transition.

Forums, Hacks and Peer Networks
An overview of our forums, hacks, and regional and peer networks, with updates on how these communities are evolving to support shared learning, practical problem-solving, and stronger connections across the sector.

Headline Events
Dates and updates for key upcoming events, including our Leadership Summit and the Charity Excellence Awards.
