Our events are at the heart of what we do. Not only do they offer us the chance to connect with each other and build our professional and personal networks, but they also enable us to raise vital funds to continue giving back to those less fortunate.

Through our 2026 grant round, we are supporting initiatives across education, health, and community development in both Ireland and Australia. Some of these projects include:

- The Trinity St. James’s Cancer Institute (TSJCI) in Dublin which has become the first and only Cancer Centre in Ireland to be accredited as a Comprehensive Cancer Centre by the Organisation of European Cancer Institutes; it aims to enable individual treatment plans for better outcomes

- Two global fellowships for cancer research collaborations between Trinity St James and the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Victoria

- Scholarships for disadvantaged promising young women through the No Mind Left Behind programme

- STEM Passport for Inclusion founded by the amazing Prof. Katriona O’Sullivan, best selling Author of “Poor”

- Australian Indigenous Education Foundation Scholarships

- When No One’s Watching (WNOW) Mental Health for Men

We are so grateful for your continued support and together we can make a difference in the lives of those in need.

We’re proud to support the future of cancer research through groundbreaking fellowships that connect Ireland and Australia.

As part of our commitment to advancing innovation and care, we are supporting two outstanding trainees undertaking fellowships at Trinity St James’s Cancer Institute (TSJCI) in Dublin and the Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre (VCCC) in Melbourne — the inaugural Ireland Funds Trinity Global Fellows.

This is only possible because of you. Every event attended, every ticket purchased, every show of support helps us invest in life-changing projects like this.
