Advancing Philanthropy April 2022

The pandemic is over. The pandemic is not over. Mask mandates are being lifted, then coming back again. New variants are coming, but they’re not overwhelming us. Or maybe they are?

If you're feeling confused or uncertain, then you’re in good company. Here’s what we do know: In-person special events are coming back, so fundraisers need to be ready to address all the issues around them. The April 2022 issue of Advancing Philanthropy covers how to create purposeful events in this new environment, from hybrid galas to productive, interactive virtual meetings, and ensure people feel safe and secure.

The April issue’s cover story is our interview with Allyson Felix, the most decorated U.S. track and field athlete of all time, a seven-time Olympic champion and a world record holder, mom and women’s advocate. Oh, yeah, she’s also the opening plenary speaker at AFP ICON 2022 in Las Vegas, May 2 – 4.

Plus, you’ll find articles on multi-channel fundraising, ending imposter syndrome, raising more major gifts, rethinking capital campaigns and ruminations on the age-old question of whether or not your fundraising brings you joy.

Check out the April issue of Advancing Philanthropy and feel confident and energized to raise more funds in 2022!
