CFRE International and ASSIF, the association for fundraising professionals working in Italy, have granted CFRE scholarships to the three most recent winners of the Italian Fundraising Award.
The Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) is the only globally-recognised, accredited certification for fundraising professionals. More than 6,800 fundraising professionals in 25 countries are currently CFREs.
The recipients of the scholarship, which funds the US$700 CFRE initial application fee for each recipient, are the winners of the Italian Fundraising Award for the last three years:
– Giovanna Bonora, former fundraiser for Bocconi University, Italian Fundraising Award Winner 2019
– Alessandra Delli Poggi, head of partnerships and new business for Cancer Research Italy, Italian Fundraising Award Winner 2018
– Roger Bergonzoli, director at Fondazione Santa Rita da Cascia, Italian Fundraising Award Winner 2017
To become a CFRE, fundraisers must meet requirements in education and professional practice and performance, in addition to agreeing to abide by the International Statement of Ethical Principles of Fundraising and successfully passing a 200-question exam.
CFRE international president and CEO Eva Aldrich, Ph.D., CAE, (CFRE, 2001-2016), said:
“CFRE International is proud to partner with ASSIF to recognise these three dedicated fundraising professionals. Becoming a CFRE demonstrates an individual’s commitment to confidence, ethics, and professionalism in fundraising. We look forward to working together with ASSIF to grow the network of CFREs in Italy.”
