We just received a very special certificate: our membership renewal from AFRDS.  For those of you who are unfamiliar with AFRDS, it stands for Association of Fund-Raising Distributors & Suppliers.

Receiving this certificate confirms that eFundraising is in good standing and follows the AFRDS Code of Ethics.  What does that mean?  As an example, two of the most important mandates (in our opinion) of AFRDS state that:

- All our fundraising activities are guided by truth, accuracy, fairness and the highest integrity.
- We provide quality products and professional services that ensure maximum effectiveness for our clients’ investment of time and money.

These two mandates aren't just part of a code of ethics.  They're an integral part of our culture at eFundraising. 

We are proud to say that we have been a member of AFRDS since 1990.  How do you know if your fundraising company is a member?  Just look for the AFRDS logo on the company's website.

Did you already know about AFRDS?  How important is membership to you when choosing a fundraising company?  Does it sway your opinion in any way?

Let us know!
