Leaders in philanthropy rely on and regularly consult Giving USA so they can act on the emerging challenges and trends affecting philanthropy and fundraising in the United States.If you are benchmarking your organization's fundraising performance against national averages,
educating volunteers and executives, helping organizations prepare to meet their fundraising challenges, or seeking to better understand our philanthropic world, please join us for this timely and informative presentation.
 During his 24 years as a fundraising professional,
Milton Key's passion for helping nonprofit organizations establish and reach their fundraising goals has led to millions of dollars raised, given by many donors, enabling many more bright futures. Most recently, Milton provided leadership in the successful $38.6 million capital campaign, for what will be the first inpatient hospice facility in Dallas - the Faith
Presbyterian Hospice T. Boone Pickens Hospice & Palliative
Care Center. As an AFP member since 1992, Milton has served in several leadership positions, including board member and president of the Greater Dallas Chapter and as a member of the AFP International Board of Directors. In 2014, the AFP Greater Dallas Chapter recognized Milton as its Outstanding Fundraising Executive.

President's Message
Dear Friends,
I hope you've registered for the DFW Philanthropy In Action Conference on June 12th. It's just days away and you don't want to miss a moment. All of the bases are covered in this one-day conference: Annual Giving, Best Practices, Board and Volunteer Relationships, Donor Development, Major Gifts, Marketing and Communications, Non-Profit Leadership and Planned Giving. We are also privileged to have Vern Snyder, ACFRE, presenting "Building A Successful Career Successfully."
Penelope Burk and Suzanne Smith, our keynote and closing speakers, are worth the price of admission by themselves. If you haven't already done so, you can still register onsite, so see you there!
June is the halfway mark for this year's Dallas Chapter AFP Board of Directors. 2015 marks 35 years of AFP in Dallas. This year the board is moving the organization forward with more emphasis on social media, a mentor/mentee initiative, and inclusive programming. My personal project has been to bring the past into the present by identifying and reaching out to past presidents of the Dallas AFP Chapter. Twenty-nine men and women have led our organization since 1980; some are retired, some have moved away and some are deceased, but most are still raising money in Dallas. It will be my honor to convene this group later this month.
Even though our fiscal year is half over we still have six more months of programs, events and professional development on the calendar. Fundamentals of Philanthropy is coming up as well as our annual National Philanthropy Luncheon in November. We will also have networking events and an Executive Conversation, so check our website for details.
The Dallas Chapter is in the middle of its annual AFP Now! campaign. You may ask, "Why should I contribute to AFP Now? I already pay membership dues and I pay to attend the monthly luncheon programs." The answer is simple. Monthly dues are shared with International AFP and monthly luncheon fees pay a fraction of the cost for the facility, the meal and other expenses. The Dallas Chapter of AFP is a nonprofit organization. We are volunteer-run with the help of a paid chapter administrator. If you think we are doing a good job or think we need to do a better job, then we need your support. Please make your contribution now. Go to www.afpdallas.org/afp-now.asp to make your donation.
Sincerely,
Diana Marquis, CFRE
2015 Greater Dallas AFP President
