AFP GLAC has proudly launched our inaugural IDEA Fellowship!

The Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access (IDEA) Fellowship is a six-month program for seven fundraisers from underrepresented communities. Fellows receive a year-long AFP membership, access to AFP-GLAC events, and an IDEA-focused mentor for the duration of the program. The program is intended to recruit and support a diverse cohort of fundraising leaders by creating a space for community and learning. By the end of the program, the IDEA Fellows will have a strong community through their cohort and their mentor. 

Please help us welcome our inagural IDEA Fellows cohort!

Are you reflecting on what comes next in your career?

Are you asking yourself:

• Should I remain with my current organization?
• Should I consider a lateral move?
