CRAF is an Expert Committee hosted by the European Science Foundation (ESF). It represents the interests of research institutes and observatories, which are active in Radio Astronomy. Its Member Institutes (MI) are based in Europe and South Africa, or are international organizations themselves. Each MI commits to the work of CRAF by funding its budget and/or providing substantial in-kind contributions by providing work force via their CRAF Delegates.
