The Fundraiser Register

The Fundraiser Register

The Fundraiser Register is a vital tool that helps keep public fundraising in Aotearoa transparent, professional, and trustworthy.

Managed by the Public Fundraising Regulatory Association (PFRA) in partnership with Sales Assured Limited (SAL), the Register records every fundraiser working on behalf of PFRA member charities and their subcontractors. This ensures that only trained, authorised, and compliant fundraisers are active in the field.

The Register helps to:

• Make sure all fundraisers are properly trained and accredited before starting work
• Confirm that fundraisers meet background and security checks
• Monitor who is fundraising, where, and on behalf of which charity
• Prevent fundraisers from moving between organisations without proper checks
• Strengthen public confidence in face-to-face fundraising

By maintaining this system, the PFRA can quickly identify and address issues, protect the public, and support members to uphold the highest standards of professionalism and accountability.

Every fundraiser listed on the Register has completed PFRA Code of Conduct training and, for door-to-door roles, a criminal history check. This helps ensure that the people representing charities in our communities are safe, informed, and responsible.

The Fundraiser Register is at the heart of how we build trust - giving charities, fundraisers, and the public confidence that fundraising in Aotearoa is accountable, transparent and trusted.
