The Canadian Financial Executives Research Foundation (CFERF) is the non-profit research arm of FEI Canada.

Financial Contributions

To achieve the organization’s objectives as outlined above, CFERF must raise funds from a variety of sources. Each FEI Canada member, member organization, Chapter etc., is asked to make CFERF a going concern. Every financial contribution will be dedicated to the mission and objects of the Foundation.

 All financial contributions, large or small are greatly appreciated.  In terms of suggested donor amounts, CFERF has set the following levels.  Each level will be recognized by CFERF in varying degrees.

Corporate Donations

Donor Level
Platinum: $15,000 plus
Gold: $10,000 - $14,999
Silver: $5,000 - $9,999

Chapter Donations

CFERF recognizes that individual FEIC Chapters across Canada have varying financial capacities.  CFERF therefore suggests that Chapters consider donations in proportion to their financial capacity to donate.
