Philanthropy, Justice and a Chance for Change
On November 10, this year’s National Philanthropy Day takes a new focus
We fundraisers are committed to philanthropy. But some things are even more important, as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. reminds us: "Philanthropy is commendable, but it must not cause the philanthropist to overlook the circumstances of economic injustice which make philanthropy necessary."

What You Need to Know NOW for National Philanthropy Day
October 30 deadline to submit your Partners in Philanthropy
National Philanthropy Day provides a unique opportunity to publicly celebrate two of your organization’s most valued donors or volunteers through AFPSEWI. New this year, we're collecting photos and names of your Partners for an AFPSEWI social media video reel spotlighting our amazing supporters.

Q: What’s more important than fundraising?
A: Ethical fundraising
Ethics is essential to fundraising because everything we do pivots on public trust. During its Ethics Month, AFP illuminates our path to the highest standards of practice. Reflect on these resources from AFP Global, and register for TODAY’s FREE WEBINAR TODAY - "Ethics: It's Not Just About the Money"

Why I Give
BE the CAUSE
BE the CAUSE, the annual campaign of the AFP Foundation, gives us the chance to offer a helping hand to fellow fundraisers in Southeastern Wisconsin and beyond. Immediate past president Nancy Seidel Nelson reflects on her reasons for giving.

It's Time for White Women to Step Up for Racial Justice
AFP Global webinar provides thoughtful call to action
Do white women have a responsibility to initiate in conversations about race? On October 6, AFP Global’s webinar confronted this question with a compelling webinar and a candid conversation among participants.
