BUILDING THE CAPACITY OF PHILANTHROPY

From AFP International:

Fundraisers do more than just raise money—we make positive change happen! Without fundraising, donors and charities wouldn’t be able to transform communities and improve the quality of life for everyone.

Your gift to the AFP Foundation for Philanthropy will allow development and implementation of new programs as well as enhancements to existing ones like scholarships, education and research. And don’t forget, BE the CAUSE is a cooperative annual fund that also provides direct benefit to your local community through your AFP chapter.

• AFP LEAD programming at a reduced rate for chapter leaders with terrific programming. 361 fundraising professionals attended LEAD, and 169 attended Women’s Impact Initiative Summit, which was a rousing success!

• 21 Diversity Scholarships to the 2019 AFP International Conference on Fundraising

Quote From Scholar

“Even if I had been able to afford participation in ICON, I would not have had as positive of an experience without the Diversity Scholar Program. Being connected to a group of colleagues with shared experiences of being underrepresented created a sense of community, as well as dialogue about intersections of our work and personal experiences. The connections that I made with the Diversity Scholar cohort deepened the experience and made me feel more welcome. I’m grateful to the chapters and individuals who contributed to making professional development possible.”

The Chapter Impact Campaign launched September 2019. This Campaign for the AFP Foundation for Philanthropy funds:

• Leadership Development – which includes AFP LEAD and developing specific programs for leadership development for the fundraising profession.
• IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Access) – which includes diversity scholarships but also programs like the ongoing Women’s Impact Initiative.
• Chamberlain Scholarships to help fundraising professionals attend the AFP International Conference on Fundraising – this coming year in Baltimore!
• Capacity Building which allows the Foundation to use the funds where they are most needed
