Who we are and what we do
For over 40 years, we have been the voice of the UK fundraising profession.
From the smallest charities to the very biggest, more than 10,000 fundraisers are supported by us.
The CIOF represents and champions the work of individual fundraisers, charities, and their partners because we believe fundraising can be the most rewarding of careers, full of contribution and achievement.
We support fundraisers so that they can flourish in their work and make the biggest difference to good causes, as well as give the best experience to people who support charities across the UK.

The access to best practice guidance, learning and development opportunities, and sector knowledge around changes to our landscape has been helpful. What we particularly appreciate is the peer networks and being part of this community connects us with colleagues from other charities who are facing similar challenges.

The thing we value most about our membership is the information that is shared, and the feeling that we are not alone with the challenges in the current climate.
