Policies

Resolution Affirming Practice Basis for Award of the CFRE Credential

The CFRE International Board of Directors affirms the policy that the CFRE credential is a practice credential.  As such, eligibility for the CFRE credential is limited to those individuals “engaged in the generation of philanthropic dollars.”

While many individuals participate in various activities related directly and indirectly to the fund-raising process, CFRE certificants can demonstrate all of the following:

  • At least 50% of full-time employment as a fund raiser or fund-raising consultant;
  • Current/recent successful fund-raising performance;
  • Service to the profession (including teaching); and
  • Continuing professional education.

CFRE International applauds the participation of individuals in each of these activities, but only certifies those who meet established baseline standards and specific requirements in all of these areas.
