Advancing Philanthropy January 2025

Are we engaging our donors and earning their trust? Does our storytelling truly share our organization's mission? We know what we want to do to galvanize our fundraising practice, but how do we actually do it? In the January issue, we tackle the fundraising challenges you face every day, offering practical and tactical advice to meet the challenge of implementation. Plus, Birgit Smith Burton reflects on her racial equity work during her two years as chair of the AFP Global Board and Roger Ali, AFP's 2025-2026 board chair, shares how his past experiences will shape his goals for his term.
