Woman in suit smiling at camera.The CFRE credential designates a fundraising professional who is continually learning and staying up-to-date on the latest fundraising developments.

CFREs recertify every three years to maintain the credential. Recertification does not require an exam.

Recertifying demonstrates your ongoing commitment to the fundraising profession and that your knowledge remains current.

CFREs should ensure the primary email address in their My CFRE account is up-to-date. This is the email address where the recertification reminder email will be sent.
