Fundraising isn't just a calling. It's a career, one with a wide and varied path to advancement. Should you get an advanced degree? Do certifications like the CFRE (certified fundraising executive) pay off? How do you become an executive director? There are many options, but often its unclear what might be right for you. If you're thinking about your next job, next raise, or new opportunity, this luncheon will provide you with insight from successful fundraisers who have advanced their careers and increased their salaries.

AFP Chapter to Receive Local Scholarship Dollars & Drive Diversity Scholarship Dollars Worldwide
 
Did you know that through the AFP Foundation's Be the Cause Campaign in 2016, AFP chapters received local scholarship funds and more than 140 Chamberlain Scholars and 24 Diversity Scholars were able to attend the 2016 AFP IHQ Conference in Boston?
 
The mission of the AFP Foundation is to empower fundraisers, strengthen relationships and transform giving worldwide. We challenge you to translate the value you've received from our AFP community, and pay it forward to others who need our support.
 
 
Our chapter receives 15% of every dollar raised from our local Be the Cause effort, and 25% if we achieve our $1,781 goal. All proceeds from our campaign go toward our local NPD scholarship funds and enable our annual Chapter Impact gift to IHQ's Diverse Communities Scholarship Program.
 
Thank you for your generosity to impact the career development of fundraisers like you. You are so appreciated.

With Gratitude,
