To enable career fundraisers to stand out and be acknowledged on par with peers from other professions, the Chartered Institute of Fundraising is working towards being able to award individual fundraisers with chartered status.
At the AGM in September 2026, we will be inviting individual members of the Chartered Institute to vote on whether we should be able to award people with Chartered Fundraiser status.
Between now and the vote, we are encouraging fundraisers to find out what Chartering means, how it can support your career and why it will be good for the whole fundraising profession.
Find out what you need to do between now and September 2026 and don't forget if you want to take part in the vote, or work towards becoming a Chartered Fundraiser, you'll need to join as an individual member.
You can find out more about why we think this is a good move and what will happen next.
