Dear Members and Fundraising Professionals,
During these challenging economic times, it takes creativity, perseverance and patience to raise the funds needed to fulfill our organizations' missions and make our world a better place.
In addition to the many resources available through AFP, the Ethics Resource Center has just released its first National Nonprofit Ethics Survey for 2007. For an inside view of nonprofit ethics from the perspective of nonprofit employees, select the “Resource Library” navigation tab in the left margin. You will find this information interesting and even validating for your organization’s best practices.
As a member of AFP, you have the support of a wide network of professionals whenever you may need it. And, whether you’re new to the profession or a seasoned professional, our goal is to provide you with the most current information on fundraising trends and expert guidance, offer you many opportunities to meet and network with others, and deliver quality educational programs to advance your organization and your career.
