In the wake of the pandemic we've all heard the catchy taglines like "build back better" and "the new way forward", but how are we turning these well intended words into sincere action? Join the Association of Fundraising Professionals Nova Scotia Chapter and add your voice to the conversation as we discuss real strategies to break through the red tape.

This interactive and engaging session will focus on:

• The non-profit sector's relationship with government and how we can work with leaders more effectively
• The barriers that traditional funding models pose and how granting bodies can make meaningful change
• The walls grassroot non-profits can come up against in trying to improve their communities.
• The misconceptions that keep us from embracing accessible, flexible and more balanced ways of work

We hope you'll join us on November 15th, 2022 to recognize National Philanthropy Day with this important conversation.

If you plan to make 2023 the year you level up your career, fundraising knowledge, and earning power, be sure to join Ashley Gatewood, CFRE (CFRE’s Communications and Marketing Director) and AFP-NS’s Board Members Liz Stuijf-Mandishora, CFRE and Mackenzie Moyer, CFRE on Wednesday, October 19th at 12:00 pm (ADT) to join in this discussion. 

Mark your calendars! You won’t want to miss our next Young Professionals and Emerging Leaders happy hour because this one will be IN PERSON – can you believe it? Meet and mingle with fellow fundraisers after work on Thursday, October 20.

Save the Date! We’re partnering up with the Donor Motivation Program and CAGP Nova Scotia to offer another opportunity for members to connect. Happening a week after National Philanthropy Day, it’s a great opportunity to continue the important conversation.
