Charity Technology Leaders Report 2026
We are delighted to release the 2026 edition of our annual Charity Technology Leaders Report; conducted in partnership with Charity IT Leaders.
Each year we conduct a research project with charity technology leaders to understand the sector’s priorities, risks, challenges and opportunities in IT. This year we supplemented the survey findings with an in-person workshop and panel discussion with approximately 30 charities to review the trends and comment on the patterns.
The finished report summarises the key findings for charity IT leaders, highlights the main themes and trends and compares the results with last year’s survey. We cover:
- Top Strategic Priorities
- Top Improvement Areas
- Tech Priorities Being Worked On in 2026
- The Big 6 Challenges
- IT Representation at Board
- Cyber Security
- IT Team Structure
- Commentary from Tree Hall, CEO of Charity IT Leaders, and Adam Monks, co-founder of Smartdesc
