Discounts on fundraising qualifications

Investing in your staff through IoF qualifications enables them to be the best fundraisers they can be. Developed by leading sector experts and internationally recognised, all your fundraising staff can take advantage of the individual member rate when they sign up for the Certificate in Fundraising or the Diploma in Fundraising.

The best deals with third sector suppliers

We have negotiated special partnerships with a range of corporate partners so that Organisational Members have access to a variety of discounts to make your tight budgets go further. Take a look at our Membership Offers page for more details.

Research and insight for your fundraising strategies and plans

As the UK’s professional membership body for fundraising the IoF is leading the way in coordinating information and research, and encouraging debate.

All of our Organisational Members now get free access to our on-line research portal that brings together an unrivalled source of fundraising research, opinion and comment.  In phase two, we will be building a member-only resource for sharing research and insight.

National Convention

At the IoF’s flagship annual event, National Convention, Organisational members can secure group bookings at discounts of between 10 and 35% (depending on group size) up until 20th April so make sure you book early this year!

Also in response to member requests we have designed a special National Convention Shareable Three Day Pass that can be used by up to three people over the three days of Convention. Each of our Organisational Members can use up to five Shareable Passes, allowing a different delegate to attend each day. Visit the National Convention website for more information.

We are launching a director network in the spring to give a voice to fundraising leaders and provide the specific support directors have told us they want and need. The launch date and full programme will be available shortly.
