UK’s Institute for Sustainable Philanthropy becomes EFA’s newest member

EFA welcomed the UK’s Institute for Sustainable Philanthropy as its newest member last month.

Any organisation sharing EFA’s objectives of promoting best practice in fundraising and philanthropy, or developing the profession or industry can become a member. The Institute for Sustainable Philanthropy is EFA’s 21st member, joining fundraising associations and organisations from 18 countries across Europe.

Commenting, Harriet Jones-Day, lecturer in fundraising at the Institute said:

“We’re so happy to join EFA and to be part of a team of members committed to bettering the fundraising landscape across Europe. At the Institute our core mission is to grow the human capacity to love and to explore how we can achieve that through giving and philanthropy. We’re passionate about stewarding that body of knowledge for fundraising, to fundraisers. It was a natural progression for us to join EFA and surround ourselves with the keenest and most brilliant minds so we can deliver the best for our students and continue to grow and learn as an organisation. We welcome you to reach out to us anytime – we’re only ever an email or call away!”

Charlotte Rydh, EFA president, added:

“We’re delighted to welcome the Institute for Sustainable Philanthropy as our newest member. The different perspectives and experiences that each one brings are immensely valuable for EFA and our network, and for the European fundraising community as a whole. We are stronger together!”

Members have the opportunity to make their voices heard at European level through EFA’s campaign and lobby work and to develop accredited qualifications for their nation’s fundraisers through EFA’s Certification scheme. In addition, they have access to a wide range of knowledge and research on fundraising and giving from around Europe, networking opportunities with peers from across Europe, discounts for international fundraising events, and promotional opportunities within EFA’s monthly Fundraising Europe newsletter.
