Advancing Philanthropy April 2025 – Community and Belonging

Community and belonging are necessarily at the heart of everything we do, providing support, building resilience and helping us cope more effectively amid challenging times. The April issue takes a closer look at community and belonging—also the theme of this year’s AFP ICON—with practical examples of how to create community, enhance a sense of belonging and further drive connection, all of which help us build better relationships with donors and with one another. Also a feature on our Opening General Session speaker, José M. Hernández, Astronaut, Author, Aerospace Engineering Consultant, Farmer and Vintner.
