A Commitment to Fundraising Excellence
Fundraising Institute Australia (FIA) membership shows a commitment to best-practice fundraising. Our goal is to equip Australia’s fundraisers with best-practice fundraising knowledge so they can fulfill their organisation’s mission and enable greater impact overall.
Working for you and the sector
As a peak body and we are a not-for-profit organisation that exists solely for the benefit of our Members.
