Why You Should Support the AFP Foundation

The mission of AFP Foundation for Philanthropy is to enhance philanthropy and volunteerism through programs of education, research and service that benefit those that lead, serve and support nonprofit institutions.

AFP Foundation for Philanthropy is in service to philanthropy. We give professional fundraisers a way to "give back," and help others support and advance philanthropy and careers in fundraising. The goal of AFP Foundation is to generate the resources to fund AFP strategic initiatives that advance ethical and effective fundraising.

The driving force behind organized philanthropy is the professional fundraiser. He or she serves as a promoter, advocate, solicitor, enabler and steward of relationships, acting with the highest ethical standards of solicitation and the technical competency to facilitate the gift and the donor's wishes.
Working in tandem with an organization's leadership and volunteers, the professional fundraiser makes philanthropy happen by bringing together charities and donors, helping them to "do good" for society and fulfill their missions.
