The Black Fundraisers group is a special interest group of the Chartered Institute of Fundraising created to support fundraisers from global majority backgrounds, offering networking, peer-mentoring and professional development tailored to the needs of the membership.

Who are we?

We're a volunteer-led group working to support fundraisers from the black, Asian and minoritised ethnic (BAME) Community by providing a regular forum to meet, share experiences and access professional support.

Founded in 2006 by black professionals with a common vision and over 30 years of fundraising experience, we're a unique network that is fast establishing its place in the fundraising sector by listening to BAME fundraisers and responding with practical and effective support. As BAME fundraisers, we understand feelings of isolation and solitude on this chosen career path. Black Fundraisers UK provides a welcome meeting arena and support structure to make these feelings a thing of the past.

Black Fundraisers UK promotes professionalism, integrity and personal development. If these qualities resonate with you, we welcome you to join us.
