About Us

The Chartered Institute of Fundraising is the professional membership body for UK fundraising.

We champion our members’ excellence in fundraising. We support fundraisers through professional development and education. We connect fundraisers across all sectors and skill sets to share and learn with each other. So that together we can best serve our causes and communities both now and in the future.

What we stand for

As the professional membership body for UK fundraising, we want to see excellent fundraising for a better world.

We support fundraising by promoting excellence throughout all areas – in the professional development and education of fundraisers, in providing a framework for continuous improvement, and enabling fundraising organisations to carry out their work in the best possible way. We champion our members’ excellence in fundraising and ensure that all fundraisers can connect to share and learn together.

What we’re doing

For fundraising to best deliver for our charity sector across the UK we support our profession to work together, collaborate, and achieve more as a collective.

We speak up and represent the voice of fundraising to government, to regulators, and in the press and media. We come together to drive forward the changes that are needed – creating a more equal, diverse and inclusive profession, and working with our partners to promote fundraising.
