At EFA, our mission is to strengthen and develop fundraising across Europe. Our certification scheme is a core part of that mission. It enables fundraising associations to develop qualifications that share a common core syllabus and competencies, while reflecting their own cultural, economic and geographic contexts.

EFA Certification is the name given to the programme of recognition of formal training programmes and courses supported by national fundraising organisations that are members of EFA.

EFA Learning Symposium is an event that brings together European and international leading thinkers, educators, certification experts, and senior practitioners to address one central question: Why professional fundraising education is no longer optional — but strategic.
