The IoF now has under 6,000 Individual members (fundraisers), 575 Organisational members (charities), and 120 Corporate members (businesses that work with charities).
In 2011, The Institute of Fundraising launched the IoF Academy which offers training and qualifications to fundraisers at every stage in their career. The Certificate in Fundraising, once completed allows members to use the post nominals MinstF(Cert) and upon completion of the Diploma in Fundraising, members can use the post nominals MinstF(Dip).
On 1 April 2020, the Institute of Fundraising received its Royal Charter (RC000910) from the Privy Council and is now the Chartered Institute of Fundraising.
