About usAt CFG, our vision is to inspire a financially confident, dynamic and trustworthy sector. Everything we do is led by our goal to enable charities to deliver more impact to their causes. It’s our mission to put finance at the heart of social change organisations, making their money work harder and achieve the maximum positive outcome for their beneficiaries. Our members include over 1,400 charities, social change and public benefit organisations, all working hard to improve the lives and outcomes for their beneficiaries – often on a tight budget. Through improving their financial management, governance and leadership, we can help these organisations deliver their charitable objectives from all the resources available to them. Our valuesOur values define who we are as people and who we are together as CFG. The work we do is important and how we do it is just as important to us. We work on the basis people can be taught skills and gain experience so we want to know if you share our values and beliefs. The CFG team worked together to create values that they believe embody who they are as individuals and how they want to work together as a team to achieve CFG’s goals. We are: • Aspirational, and brave Who we work withWe work closely with finance professionals and those in governance roles, but we believe better financial management also benefits a much broader audience. This is reflected through our wide-ranging work with non-finance professionals, members of the public, government, corporates, foundations, regulators and many more. We strive to develop finance skills in all leaders – whatever their discipline – and help to build leadership qualities across the whole sector, truly putting finance at the heart of informed decision making. Charities and social change organisations turn to our membership resources, helplines and publications for essential financial know-how, and our extensive programme of events and training; brings finance skills to all leaders, whatever their discipline. We are keen to work with all charity professionals, no matter what stage of their professional career they may be at. Those at entry level can benefit from the many opportunities to grow their network and improve their skills, while the more experienced can lend their expertise and pass on their hard-earned knowledge. We’d like to see a sector that embraces the knowledge and wisdom of all professionals and recognises the value that volunteers can bring. As an associate (or affiliate), members can stay connected and continue supporting the sector, through the wealth of experience they bring to the CFG community. |
