About CFRE Certification
CFRE certification serves as an impartial, third-party
endorsement of your knowledge and experience of international standards
in philanthropy. It adds to your credibility as a fundraiser and sets
you apart from other professionals as a veritable steward of the public
trust.
Founded
in 2001, CFRE International
is an independent 501(c)6 whose sole mission is to certify fundraising
professionals who demonstrate the knowledge, skills and commitment to
the highest standards of ethical and professional practice in serving
the philanthropic sector.
The CFRE certification process consists of three
parts: a written application, a written examination; and agreement to
uphold a code of ethics and Accountability Standards. Individuals who
wish to maintain their CFRE certification must recertify every three
years.
