Have you thought about becoming a Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE)?

Being a successful fundraiser depends on much more than having relevant knowledge or credentials after your name. It requires personal drive and perseverance to reach the job’s objectives and a collaborative attitude toward your work, your colleagues, and the organization.  Most of those skills come from experience – from being in the trenches and honing your skills on the job.

That said, CFRE certification indicates a fundraiser’s commitment to professional growth in the field, which has significant benefits:

• Increases credibility
  CFRE certification affirms that your knowledge and experience meet international standards in philanthropy
• Enhances professionalism
  The CFRE certification program promotes and develops professionals who can stand out as role models in the fundraising field.
• Improves career opportunities
  CFRE certificants have an edge when being considered for employment or promotion.
• Provides greater earning potential
  A survey of the Association for Financial Professionals (AFP) showed that CFREs earn, on average, 23 percent more than their non-certified counterparts.
• Prepares for greater responsibilities on the job
  The training required to achieve and maintain CFRE certification improves skills and knowledge critical to managing the challenges of fundraising.
• Builds self-esteem
  Achieving CFRE certification brings personal satisfaction and professional confidence.
