**The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has accredited the Certified 
Fund Raising Executive (CFRE®) certification under the ANSI/ISO/IEC 17024 standard
for personnel certification programmes.**

[ANSI accreditation](https://www.ansi.org/accreditation/) is recognised internationally
and means that the [CFRE®](http://www.cfre.org/) credential’s global significance
is recognised by other worldwide accrediting bodies with which ANSI has established
multilateral recognition agreements.  The ISO in ANSI/ISO/IEC stands for International
Organization for Standardization, a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
from 163 countries.

Accreditation of the CFRE® programme under ANSI/ISO/IEC 17024 confers independent,
international validation of both the CFRE® programme and credential, verifying the
competence, credibility, and ethical commitment of an increasingly mobile and global
workforce of CFRE® certified fundraising professionals.

> “Achieving ANSI/ISO/IEC 17024 accreditation for the CFRE® represents a big step
> toward increased recognition of the CFRE® credential as the international standard
> for certification of fundraising professionals. It affirms that the CFRE® programme
> and certification development process meets widely recognized international quality
> standards for personnel certification programmes.”
> “The accreditation provides independent global validation for the CFRE® credential,
> helping donors, fundraising professionals and nonprofit organisations to distinguish
> reliable and meaningful professional certifications like the CFRE® from other 
> offerings.”
