Unions and Associations
Fund-raisers are not members of unions. Several professional associations provide useful resources to fund-raisers. The Association of Fundraising Professionals offers membership, continuing education, and other resources. CFRE International provides certification. The Giving Institute is a membership organization for fund-raising consulting and nonprofit services firms. The American Association of Political Consultants represents political and public affairs professionals, including those who raise funds for political candidates.
