(Arlington, Virginia) The Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), the largest association of fundraising professionals in the world, has announced a continued partnership with Fundraise Up, a donation platform for enterprise nonprofits that uses AI and machine learning to make it easy for donors to give online.

“Throughout our partnership, Fundraise Up has provided the AFP community with valuable information on nonprofit trends in online fundraising and marketing,” said Chris Amos, senior director, business development for AFP. “We’re excited to welcome them back to AFP ICON in 2024. Their continued presence as a Gold Sponsor and presenter is of great importance to AFP and a value-add for our members, who are always interested in learning how Fundraise Up can help them maximize donor retention and create a seamless donation experience. All of us at AFP are so pleased to continue to work with Fundraise Up as an Impact Partner and look forward to the expertise and guidance they can provide to the fundraising community.”

“Nonprofits desperately need to upskill and upgrade technology to keep in-step with donor expectations,” said Salvatore Salpietro, chief community officer, Fundraise Up. AFP’s dedication to advancing philanthropy aligns with Fundraise Up’s mission to empower nonprofit organizations with technology that allows nonprofits to do exactly this, and we are honored to contribute to AFP’s ongoing efforts in supporting ethical, and effective, fundraising practices. We look forward to further collaboration with AFP to drive positive impact for nonprofits and their causes."

The AFP Partners Program provides participating organizations with year-round opportunities to engage the fundraising community and pursue corporate social responsibility through tangential support of the causes for which they work. Through thought leadership, marketing, content, and professional development channels, AFP Partners position themselves as industry leaders committed to advancing philanthropy and ethical fundraising worldwide. Their financial and programmatic support also enables AFP to develop highly competent fundraisers and educate the public on the industry’s ability to fuel societal change in critical arenas like education, healthcare, community development, equity and inclusion, and countless other missions.
