European Fundraising Association (EFA)

About European Fundraising Association (EFA)

EFA is a network of national fundraising associations and related bodies from across Europe with the collective goal of working together to raise fundraising standards. We publish a free newsletter #FundraisingEurope. Our vision: Together we represent the European fundraising community with one voice, one collective body and one shared goal of facilitating better fundraising. EFA aims to strengthen and develop the fundraising profession across Europe. Our mission: EFA’s mission is to develop fundraising across Europe by strengthening national fundraising associations and to promote fundraising, philanthropy and the work of not for profit organisations at the EU level. EFA serves as a platform and a collective voice for its members. EFA itself is led by a volunteer board. Executive Officer Denise Dawes co-ordinates EFA's day-to-day work programme. Full membership of EFA is open to fundraising associations. Observer status is available to representatives from nations where no fundraising association has yet been established. Our member associations represent fundraising in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK.
