**The Chartered Institute of Fundraising has announced an increase to its individual
membership fees, which will rise 5% from 1 June. This follows a rise in organisational
membership fees, which took place on 1 May. **

In a [blog on its site](https://ciof.org.uk/events-and-training/resources/changes-to-membership)
announcing the changes, the CIoF said:

> “As part of our commitment to ensuring we continue to provide the fundraising 
> community with the best possible support, we have reviewed our individual and 
> organisational membership prices and structure.”

#### Individual membership

This is the first change to individual membership fees since 2019, and, the CIoF
adds, is below inflation. The rise means membership will now be the equivalent of
£8.99 per month. This is the equivalent increase of 49p a month for the majority
of its current members.  

Fee by card or BACS for new members however will stay the same at £117. The CIoF
is also removing the new joiner fee, and moving to one membership grade.

#### Organisational membership

Organisational membership fees rose by 5% on 1 May, with the CIoF saying:

> “This increase ensures that as a charity we can continue to provide the very best
> value to our members, creating a better environment for fundraisers to excel.”

The CIoF’s voluntary income bands have also changed with the introduction of additional
new bands for charities with less than £5 million voluntary income, with the CIoF
adding:

> “This positive change will ensure that there are more affordable joining prices
> for smaller charities. This latest revised change to our bands comes after we 
> introduced a complimentary rate for all charities with a voluntary income of £
> 50,000 or less.”
