Community Foundation Ireland is announcing the appointment of Moninne Griffith to the role of Director of Impact, Grants and Donor Care (29th October 2025).

Moninne is bringing over two-decades of experience across law, policy and civil society to the role, which oversees the disbursement of more than €25-Million a year in philanthropic grant-making to deliver a mission of Equality For All in Thriving Communities.
Making the announcement Community Foundation Chief Executive, Denise Charlton said:
“Achieving our mission requires strategic interventions to support our network of 5,000 voluntary, community and charitable partner organisations.
As a Foundation we are delighted that Moninne will share her extensive knowledge and insights.
She joins the team as we are using our 25th anniversary to reflect on the growing contribution Irish philanthropy can play in partnering with communities to address a whole range of challenges.
In addition to her knowledge, Moninne brings the passion, energy and commitment needed to deliver equality. The team is looking forward to working with her.”
Taking up the post Moninne added:
“Community Foundation Ireland and Irish Philanthropy continue to make a unique and valuable contribution. I have seen at first hand the difference it can make in transforming the lives of young people, including those in the LBGTQI+ community.
Philanthropy is often there to provide support, solidarity and resources when others can’t. It also allows projects to go ahead which otherwise would not happen.
I have been privileged to witness that transformative power daily through my work in civic society, most recently with Belong To. I now look forward to be part of that work from a fresh and new perspective.”
