Chair of Fundraising Ireland Aidan Stacey said: "Fundraising Ireland is at a crucial
stage of its development. The demand from our members has increased over the last
number of years and Fundraising Ireland aims to continue to deliver on their needs.
The appointment of Anne as CEO will ensure we can achieve our goal of delivering
on our member’s expectations.”

Fundraising Ireland has received funding from the Irish government through the Forum
on Philanthropy & Fundraising and the One Foundation. Both these investments are
aimed at ensuring that the not for profit sector in Ireland has the fundraising 
capacity to deliver in the current climate of austerity.
