“I’m a professional fundraiser and proud of it! I’ve been an individual member of FIA for over 15 years. It is really important to me as a professional fundraiser that I am recognised as such, and belonging to FIA gives me current knowledge on bestpractice ethical fundraising methods and FIA Code.

I believe it is also helpful that the donors I interact with have the confidence of knowing I belong to a national peak-body with a solid international reputation.”
