Charities Institute Ireland - Triple Lock

The National Breast Cancer Research Institute are delighted to announce that we have been awarded ‘Triple Lock’ status by the Charities Institute Ireland (CII), reflecting our commitment to good governance, good fundraising practices and transparency.

The Triple Lock symbol highlights charities that uphold the highest standards of transparency, governance, and fundraising ethics. It ensures the public, donors, and beneficiaries can trust that these organisations operate with professionalism, integrity, and openness.

Charities achieving the Triple Lock Standard actively demonstrate their commitment to:

  1. Transparent Reporting
  2. Good Governance
  3. Ethical Fundraising


For donors and supporters, the Triple Lock is a mark of trust. It reassures you that a charity operates at the highest standards of transparency, accountability, and ethics. By supporting a Triple Lock charity, you know your contribution is making a genuine impact in an organisation that is:

  • Professionally managed.
  • Open about its financial and operational practices.
  • Dedicated to delivering real value to its beneficiaries.


Last year only 142 charities in Ireland out of 11,500 registered charities received this prestigious recognition – 1%.
