Session Description

The AFP CFRE Refresher Course offers development professionals an opportunity to review the main components of a complete fundraising program. It is a two-day, intensive program that focuses on the terminology, organization, and structure of a development operation.

After more than two years of work AFP has completed revision of the AFP CFRE Review Course, now titled the AFP CFRE Refresher Course. This workshop uses “caselets”—short case studies—to review the six fundraising knowledge domains and the core principles and concepts that all experienced fundraising professionals should know.

The AFP CFRE Refresher Course is not designed to be a preparatory course for the Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) Examination but instead is a review of the body of knowledge at the five-year level which many individuals use in studying for the exam. There is no guarantee that any of the specific content covered in this course will appear as specific items on the CFRE examination. CFRE International does not sponsor or endorse any educational programs, and this course was not developed in conjunction with CFRE International.

Reflection, General Questions, and Wrap-Up Discussion



Participation in the AFP CFRE Refresher Course may assist you in learning or reviewing concepts covered on the Certified Fundraising Executive (CFRE) examination as detailed on the Test Content Outline provided by CFRE International. However, the AFP CFRE Refresher Course is not designed specifically as a prep course for the exam. It is designed to provide a review of concepts one should know at the five-year experience level.

AFP highly recommends that this refresher course be just one of the resources you use in preparing to take the CFRE exam. Your study should also include reading books that appear on the CFRE Resource Reading List.

*Advance Registration is mandatory! Maximum number of participants is 22.
