Welcome to EFA
The European Fundraising Association is a network of national fundraising organisations, working to strengthen and develop fundraising across Europe. Together we represent the European fundraising community with one voice, one collective body and one shared goal of facilitating better fundraising.
We certify national fundraising qualifications and support their development, deliver inspiring networking events, share best practice and publish news and views from across the continent in our newsletter, Fundraising Europe.
Membership
EFA's membership draws together fundraising associations and bodies from 18 European countries. Through EFA, members can share learning, accelerate best practice in the fundraising profession, develop internationally-recognised fundraising qualifications, access discounts at fellow members’ events and more.
EFA Certification
Developed with EU funding, EFA Certification is a framework that enables members to develop national qualifications for fundraising based on one core set of fundraising competencies, with clear delivery guidelines. The framework has been updated in 2021 and a new Certification Handbook is now available.
2022 Skillshare
The 13th Annual EFA Skillshare, including our 20th anniversary celebration, and Annual General Assembly will take place in Dublin on 24-25 November. All fundraisers and others working in the civil society sector are welcome to join the Skillshare, while the AGA is open to EFA member representatives only.
