EFA Certification is a unique programme of recognition for formal training courses supported by National Fundraising Organisations that are members of the European Fundraising Association. EFA Certification is the first European recognised certificate in fundraising.

The European Fundraising Association is proud to be working together with the following partners, who are generously supporting this ground-breaking project, which represents a milestone in fundraising in Europe.

AFP – Association of Fundraising Professionals

As a long-term Associate of the EFA, the Association of Fundraising Professionals has played an important role in supporting our activities and development. We are therefore delighted that our special partnership with the AFP is continuing with the EFA Certification project.

Once again at the forefront of major developments in fundraising, the AFP has made the leading gift in support of EFA Certification.

We are particularly grateful to Paulette Maehara, AFP’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and Andrew Watt, Vice President of International Development, for the energy and commitment they have shown in supporting EFA Certification.

SAZ Dialog AG Europe

SAZ has made a commitment to work together with the EFA to optimise conditions for fundraising throughout Europe. The EFA highly values the generous support given by SAZ, which is making it possible for the Association to realise its vision for fundraising in Europe.

In particular SAZ is working in partnership with the EFA in further developing and professionalizing pan-European fundraising and improving conditions for not-for-profit organisations. The strength of SAZ’s dedication is reflected in the fact that they view their engagement with the European Fundraising Association as a long-term investment in the future of fundraising. The EFA looks forward to developing the many opportunities that SAZ’s support will bring over the coming years.

ZHAW (Zürich University of Applied Sciences)

The ZHAW School of Management is pleased to support EFA Certification because it shares EFA’s interest in promoting high standards in European fundraising training. For the School of Management, EFA Certification is an important instrument to consolidate the quality of its fundraising courses.
