AFP's annual leadership and nonprofit management conference, AFP LEAD, returns bigger and better than ever this October 20-22 in Houston, TX!
AFP Global is now accepting nominations for the Outstanding Fundraising Professional, Outstanding Young Professionals (up to five honored annually) and the William R. Simms Awards for Outstanding Youth in Philanthropy, sponsored by CARTER (individual and group categories). All honorees will be recognized at AFP ICON 2023 in New Orleans, April 16 – 18.
Buoyed by large donors, as well as donors who were acquired by an organization in 2020, and continued their support in 2021, overall charitable giving increased by 2.7 in 2021, according to the Fundraising Effectiveness Project’s (FEP) Fourth Quarter Fundraising Report.
Fundraising, at its core, is communications, and the ability to communicate—and then connect with and inspire—is what makes a fundraiser successful. The latest issue of Advancing Philanthropy, in your mailbox and available online, explores fundraising communications in all of its myriad forms--from the all-important "ask" and stewardship to using technology and comprehensively mapping the donor experience.
AFP Deep Dives are intensive workshops facilitated by experts that drill down into one key aspect of fundraising, management or leadership. Topics for 2022 include capital campaigns, gifts in wills, major gifts, staffing and many more.
BTC – BE the CAUSE – is the Foundation’s annual, unrestricted fund that supports scholarships, leadership development, diversity in fundraising, and education programs on the local, national and international level.
