How CFRE International Works to Benefit Your Career and Your Profession

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.”
