Celebrate National Philanthropy Day 2019

In these challenging times, remember that you have more influence on your organization’s fundraising success than anything the economy might do. To succeed, you must be sharper than ever, staying on top of new trends and best practices, bringing innovative and creative thinking to your organization and operating by the highest ethical imperatives. The Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) - your professional community, offers you the best resources—at the best value for your membership dollar—to help you and your organization succeed.

AFP celebrated October as Ethics Awareness Month, and Advancing Philanthropy is doing something it’s never done before: focusing an entire issue on ethics. Ethics is part of everything we do and is directly responsible for the money we raise and the impact we create. We hope you enjoy this special issue and use it as a resource throughout the year.

In a ceremony on Wednesday, September 25, almost 40 college leaders and fundraisers from the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) joined AFP and signed the association’s Code of Ethics.
