Making donations is the easiest way to help. Anyone wishing to support people affected by a crisis should ensure that any donations they are making are going to registered charities that have a track record of providing the kinds of practical supports and assistance that the people impacted by the crisis, and those who are supporting them, need at the time. You can check whether a specific Irish charity is registered on the Register of Charities.

While we cannot recommend a particular charity there are existing registered charities operating in Ireland that have significant experience providing assistance to a wide range of national and international crises, such as supporting refugees, operating within conflict zones and providing essential aid and supports. Please check the Register of Charities before you donate.

It is against the law in Ireland to set up a charity and to start collecting donations without being registered with the Charities Regulator. It’s easier and quicker to donate to established charities rather than set up your own. As anyone who has recently registered with the Charities Regulator will know, this registration process is, by necessity, a rigorous one. It is therefore essential that any member of the public who might wish to raise funds or provide other forms of assistance to people affected by a national or international crisis, links to an existing registered charity that has an established organisational framework in place and experience of providing aid and support in similar crisis situations. This will help ensure that donations go directly to those most in need.

If you are a registered charity and wish to lend support to a newly emerging national or international crisis such as the war in Ukraine, or a natural disaster such as the earthquake in Turkey and Syria, there are a number of very important issues for your charity to consider: 

1. Does the charitable purpose for which your charity was set up include providing crisis support/funding/donations to other registered charities or beneficiaries directly?

If your charitable purpose does not include providing crisis support/funding/donations and you wish to help with an emerging crisis you may need to add a new charitable purpose. If your charity is considering adding a new purpose you must do the following:

a) Follow your own internal rules to approve adding a new charitable purpose

and then

b) Seek consent from the Charities Regulator.

To seek consent from us you will need to log into your customer account in our online portal and submit a change of purpose form where it will be assessed by the Charities Regulator. 

Please see our guidance for accessing your customer account and these forms here. https://www.charitiesregulator.ie/en/information-for-charities/myaccount 

2. Does your governing document allow your charity to provide crisis support/ funding/donations?

For information the governing document is the legal document outlining what your organisation is and how it operates. It is usually called the ‘constitution’, but may also be known as the ‘rules’, depending on the charity’s legal structure. Your organisation's governing document should provide the basis for everything that your organisation will do and how it will do it.

If your governing document does not allow your charity to provide crisis support/funding/donations and you wish to help with an emerging crisis, making changes to the governing document may alter the nature of the organisation to such an extent that it no longer qualifies as a charity under the Charities Act 2009. This is why charities looking to amend their governing document are required to seek approval from the Charities Regulator prior to adopting any changes. To do this you will need to log into your customer account in our online portal and submit a change of purpose form where it will be assessed by the Charities Regulator.  

3. Do you intend using funds, donations or grant monies already given to the charity for another purpose to lend support to a new crisis?

You should be aware that when the donor gave you the funds, the donation was based on your charitable purpose at that time. Those donations cannot be used for any purpose other than the original purpose for which they were given.

In certain instances there is the need for heightened vigilance in relation to cyber security and increased risk of cyber-attacks and phishing. Further information on this is available from the Garda National Cyber Crime Bureau.

https://www.garda.ie/en/about-us/organised-serious-crime/garda-national-cyber-crime-bureau-gnccb-/

It may be prudent to seek legal or professional advice to determine whether your charity can undertake new activity, or whether changes are required to its governing document.

The Charities Governance Code (PDF file) is made up of - 

• six principles of governance, which all charities should apply,
• core standards that we expect all charities to meet when putting the principles into action, and
• additional standards that reflect best practice for charities with high levels of income and/or complex organisational and funding structures and/or a significant number of employees.

We wrote the Code with volunteer-only charities and charities with a small number of paid staff in mind, as this reflects the reality of the charity sector in Ireland where these two groups make up the majority of registered charities.

Additional governance standards have been included, which we expect more complex charities to meet.

For these reasons, the Code is relevant for every charity operating in Ireland.

The Code is for charity trustees.  The term ‘charity trustee’ includes:

• committee members;
• council members;
• board members; 
• company directors.

By law, charity trustees have individual and joint responsibility for what happens within their charity.  This means that if their charity does not meet its legal duties, they are responsible both as individuals and together as a board, committee, council or other core group (referred to in this Code as the ‘board’).

Charity trustees are responsible for the governance of their charity and should make sure that the following governance principles are being applied.

The charity is:

Step 1

Read the Charities Governance Code (PDF file) (the 'Code') in full.

Step 2

Decide if your charity is more complex for the purpose of the Code.

Step 3

For each standard, decide what action or actions you will take to meet that standard in your charity.

Step 4

State each action next to the relevant standard in the Compliance Record Form (WORD doc).

Step 5

If any of the standards do not apply to your charity, explain why next to that standard in the Compliance Record Form (WORD doc).

Step 6

Decide what evidence you can provide for the action or actions that you are taking to meet each standard that applies to your charity.

Step 7

State the evidence you can provide next to the relevant action in the Compliance Record Form (WORD doc).

Step 8

Review the Compliance Record Form (WORD doc) and agree it is accurate at a board meeting.

Step 9

Declare your charity’s compliance (or provide your charity’s reason for not complying) with the Code when submitting your annual report to the Charities Regulator.

Step 10

Having considered the standards, actions and evidence (Steps 3 to 7) again, complete a fresh Compliance Record Form (WORD doc) at a board meeting every year before reporting on compliance to the Charities Regulator.

The Code operates on a ‘comply or explain’ basis, meaning that charities must comply with the Code or else explain why they have not done so.

Non-compliance with the Code or a particular standard within the Code may be justified in particular circumstances. Explanations should clearly set out your reasons for non-compliance.

The six principles are linked to the legal duties of charity trustees. The Code specifically aims to help charity trustees to put good governance systems and processes in place which will assist them in meeting their legal duties under charity law.

Compliance with the Code should give confidence to your funders and donors and improve a charity’s ability to raise funding and to attract new board members and volunteers.

Good governance minimises the risk of fraud and other damaging practices and ensures your charity is managed in a way that serves the best interests of the charity and its beneficiaries.

The Charity Governance Code outlines ten steps to compliance. These can be found on page 11 of the Charities Governance Code.

As a starting point you should do the following:

1. Read the Charities Governance Code in full and discuss it at your next charity trustee meeting.
2. Develop a plan that allows you to address all six principles within the Code throughout the year.

Due to the significant variation that exists in terms of the size and type of charities that make up the charities sector, the kind of work that they undertake, where they operate, their legal structure and how they carry out their charitable purpose, it is not possible to definitively state what a complex charity is. The Charities Regulator does not determine what type of charity you are. Ultimately, the charity trustees of each organisation are best placed to make an informed decision regarding what is right for their charity and whether it is a complex charity. Please see our guidance document which sets out a number of factors and indicators that charity trustees should consider and on which they may base this decision on. Charities Governance Code Complex and Non complex Charities

No. If your charity is currently well governed, the Charities Governance Code may not require you to make any significant changes. However you should consider how you might develop any existing governance standards, your charity already has in place to accommodate the requirements of the Charities Governance Code. 

You must complete the Compliance Record Form and declare your compliance with the Code when submitting your annual report to the Charities Regulator.

You must complete Compliance Record Form indicating the actions that your charity takes to meet each standard in the Charities Governance Code and the evidence that backs is up. You should approve the Compliance Record Form at a board meeting before you report on your compliance to us.

You will be required to declare compliance when submitting your Annual Report. A detailed user guide on how to complete the Charities Governance Code section of the annual Report is available here.

No, you are not required to submit the compliance record form to the Charities Regulator. You must keep this form as the Charities Regulator could ask you for it at any time. To comply with the Code, you must complete the Compliance Record Form every year.

It is not uncommon for a board to find itself being led by one domineering trustee. An external governance specialist can help by offering independent advice based on professional experience.

Some other preventative measures to consider are as follows:

• Setting terms limits;
• Conducting annual board reviews and individual assessments;
• Adopting a code of conduct for charity trustees;
• Ensuring an effective induction process;
• Establishing clear role descriptions.

How many meetings is entirely a matter for each charity to decide.  As a board you should be meeting as regularly as you need to in order to ensure that:

• all charity trustees involved in the board are able to properly oversee the charity’s activities;
• those managing and working in the charity receive any required approval in a timely manner (by way of decisions made and recorded at Board meetings) to carry out the day-to-day work of the charity.

The number of board meetings that is required will therefore depend on the size, income and structure of the charity.

All decisions of the board of charity trustees should be documented so that there is evidence of what decisions are made and when those decisions are made.  The fact that matters are discussed by other committees or groups in the charity will not suffice if it cannot be demonstrated, by reference to documented minutes, that the board of charity trustees discussed and agreed a course of action on a particular matter.

There are reference books in all public libraries containing the Charities Governance Code and Toolkit. 
We have a limited number of hard copies available for collection from the Charities regulator office. These can requested by email to governancecode@charitiesregulator.ie.

Working in partnership can cover a wide range of formal and informal arrangements. A simple informal arrangement may include networking, joint events, shared advertising or campaigning, sharing resources or just sharing ideas and working together for common goals. As the level of collaboration increases, a more formal legal agreement may become necessary. In some cases a decision to work together can lead to a more formal arrangement such as the merger of two or more charities (see our Guidance on Winding Up a Charity). Depending on the nature of any arrangement, professional advice may be required. Care needs to be exercised when sharing information with any other charity that any issues around confidentiality or GDPR are adequately addressed. 

When contemplating working in partnership with other charities, you should start by asking what do you intend to achieve. You must properly consider and be satisfied that working in partnership with another organisation:

·         will further your charitable purpose;

·         will be an appropriate and effective way of using your charity’s resources;

·         will be in your charity’s best interests;

·         is not prohibited by your charity’s governing document; and

·         that you have identified and can deal with any possible risks involved.

The Charities Regulator does not issue a certificate of compliance with the Charities Governance Code. Any charity which declares on its Annual Report that it is in compliance with the Code will have that declaration publicly displayed on the Register of Charities from the date that the Annual Report is filed. Charities may publicise their compliance with the Code on their website or other social media platforms if they so wish.  However, charities should be careful to ensure that such public declarations are kept up-to-date.  Where a charity makes a declaration to the Charities Regulator that it is in full compliance but is unable to provide evidence to the Charities Regulator of its compliance when contacted, it will be required to update its declaration.  Any statements regarding the charity’s compliance with the Charities Governance Code that appear on the charity’s website or other social media platforms should also be immediately updated to reflect the amended declaration appearing on the Register of Charities.

Primary, special and post-primary schools which hold a valid roll number assigned by the Department of Education and Skills are legally required to submit an application for inclusion on the Register of Charities. These schools come within the terms of the Charities Act 2009, falling within the definition of an ‘education body’.

To submit an application for charitable status, you will need to create a user account, known as ‘MyAccount’, log in, complete and submit your application.

Click on Create Account on the MyAccount Sign In page if you do not have a customer account.

Click here for the Registration User Guide.

You must be logged into MyAccount to submit your school’s Registration Application.

The registration application system has been designed to assist the Charities Regulator to make decisions on applications more efficiently and includes specific forms for Primary/Special schools and Post Primary Schools.

• Primary or Special School Registration – click here to see the user guide
• Post-Primary School Registration – click here to see the user guide

Your application will then be assessed for charitable status and a case officer will be in touch if they require any further information from you.

You will receive an official notification from the Charities Regulator once a decision on your application for charitable status has been made.

Please note that we cannot guarantee a timeframe for processing applications but wait times can be longer or shorter depending on the nature of the application and the responsiveness of the applicant to any queries raised by the case officer.

All charitable organisations are obliged to report on their financial activities for the previous year in accordance with section 52 of the Charities Act 2009 by submitting an Annual Report form through the online portal to the Charities Regulator.

Each February schools are required, in accordance with the Section 18 of the Education Act 1998, to submit annual accounts to the FSSU. In order to facilitate schools, the FSSU has, since 2020, shared the schools’ approved annual accounts with the Charities Regulator. This information is then pre-populated in the Charities Regulator’s annual report form for your school. In order to complete the process, each school must declare that the information is correct and submit the annual report via the online portal on our website.

If you find information that is incorrect in the pre-populated form, simply correct it on the pre-populated form.  Please inform the FSSU of any corrections you make.

• What do I do if my charity is no longer active, is winding up or has closed?

  The process will depend on your organisation:

  If your charity received a CHY number from the Revenue Commissioners after 16 October 2014:

  In the first instance you should complete a voluntary de-registration form which can be accessed via our portal here.  This form can only be filed by an Authorised Filer for the Registered Charity.

  The Charities Regulator will then inform you of the next steps that need to be taken in order to wind-up the organisation in compliance with the law.

  If your charity held a CHY number from the Revenue Commissioners before 16 October 2014:

  In the first instance you should inform the Charities Section of the Revenue Commissioners through Revenue Online System (ROS) at:

  https://www.revenue.ie/en/companies-and-charities/charities-and-sports-bodies/charitable-tax-exemption/charities-that-are-dormant-or-winding-up.aspx

  or by phone at: 01-7383688

  We would also ask you to complete a voluntary de-registration form which can be accessed via our portal here.  This form can only be filed by an Authorised Filer for the Registered Charity.

  Once all Revenue requirements have been satisfied by the charity, Revenue will cancel the CHY number and will notify us directly to remove the charity from the Register of Charities.
