Fundraising may be the least known best profession needed in the world today. With excellent employment opportunities, career development paths, and compensation, it's more than just a job. Fundraising is a professional skill set that is in demand, where you can give back, make a vital social contribution and make a living. Humber has been leading the education of fundraisers for over 20 years, and recently revitalized the Fundraising Management Postgrad in an eight-month plus work placement format with more current curriculum in data anlytics, corprorate partnerships and more. 

The Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) is the credential for fundraisers, and Humber has been added to their list of approved education providers! Founded in 2001, CFRE International is dedicated to setting standards in philanthropy through a valid and reliable certification process for fundraising professionals. “This is an incredible endorsement of our program. Humber is known as a Canadian leader in fundraising education and we are delighted to be recognized by CFRE.” says, Samantha Jones, Program Coordinator, and Professor. "Many of our program faculty have the CFRE designation, as do many alumni who are now working across the charitable sector from coast to coast. Through the postgraduate program in Fundraising Management, you can achieve all the education points you need when coupled with professional experience to take the CFRE exam."

The CFRE designation is how a fundraiser can show accountability, service, and commitment to making a difference for good. More than 7,400 fundraising professionals currently have the designation who work in all segments of the sector including healthcare, education, and the arts. Professional fundraisers bring adherence to rigorous standards to all aspects of their work.
