AFP Canada is a leading national voice for fundraising professionals who are vital in advancing charitable work. Formed in 2017, AFP Canada was created to complement AFP Global’s work. Its mandate is uniquely focused on Canadian government relations and communications, and important national priorities like Truth and Reconciliation. AFP Canada's work is guided by its joint strategic plan with the AFP Foundation for Philanthropy – Canada. 

The over 3,000 AFP members in Canada raise funds to support the arts, culture, shelters, emergency services, healthcare, education, reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples, and social justice. They enjoy the many membership benefits offered by AFP Global and their chapters. They also benefit from AFP Canada’s advocacy, our efforts to raise the profile of the fundraising profession, and our work on identifying and taking meaningful actions on Truth and Reconciliation.
