IFHE (est. 1908) is a politically independent and secular international non-profit organization. It is registered under German law and financed by membership fees and donations.

A honorary president and regionally balanced executive committee form the organization’s leadership. A delegate assembly (Council) meets every two years, and the General Secretariat in Bonn manages every-day operations.
