Fundraising in Canada: What a Difference Certification Makes - Member News - Member - AFP

Fundraising in Canada: What a Difference Certification Makes - Member News - Member - AFP: There are approximately 714 Canadians who currently hold the Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) designation as of the time this article was published. AFP also has its own certification credential called the Advanced Certified Fundraising Executive (ACFRE) that builds on the skills and qualifications of the CFRE in a rigorous multi-part process ending with lifetime certification. The ACFRE is a distinguished achievement earned by only 95 professionals since the inception of the program in 1992.

Practical Benefits

AFP research shows that possession of the CFRE designation correlates positively with salary among Canadians. As reported in AFP’s 2011 Compensation and Benefits Study, CFREs reported average salaries are more than $26,000 higher than the average for respondents with no certification.
