Fundraising Institute Australia

The Fundraising Institute Australia (FIA) is the national peak body representing professional fundraising in Australia. If you are involved in any aspect of fundraising then FIA is your professional association. The FIA has developed the Principles & Standards of Fundraising Practice as the professional fundraiser’s guide to ethical, accountable and transparent fundraising. The Principles & Standards are vital to how the fundraising profession is viewed by donors, government, community and by fundraisers. FIA keeps you in touch with your colleagues, provides monthly professional development opportunities, mentoring for new members, advisory services, news, job opportunities and other general information. We investigate trends and issues of significance to your sector and act on members behalf to consult with industry and government in setting standards for fundraising practice. FIA is pleased to offer organisational members the opportunity to participate in the Include a Charity campaign, which is a collaboration of many of Australia‘s most progressive charities that have joined forces to promote the concept of gifts in Wills to dramatically increase revenues for the work of the charitable sector. By working together, we can change charity giving forever so that over time, gifts in Wills become the norm for many, rather than just a few. http://includeacharity.com.au/making-a-will
