CFRE Certification
![]() |
The Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) credential provides you with a recognizable demonstration of your personal and professional achievement and commitment. The CFRE Program is governed by the CFRE Professional Certification Board. For all information about certification and re-certification, please visit http://www.cfre.org |
Here’s what members have to say about Certification:
"Certification champions the ethics and conduct of our profession to the public truth through the self-regulating body of the AFP.”
"This is one mechanism to ensure that recipients of this professional designation have an overall understanding of the different aspects of fundraising.”
" I have a post secondary education but do not possess a university degree. Fund raising in North America places significant emphasis on this piece of paper, therefore, I believe designation is vitally important.”
