AFP Foundation for Philanthropy is a 501(c)(3) organization that relies on donations while AFP Global is a membership organization. When AFP members support the annual BE the CAUSE campaign through AFP Foundation for Philanthropy, they are supporting key areas that enhance the field of fundraising including:

• Leadership Development – Be The Cause supports programs like the AFP LEAD event and supports the Chamberlain Scholarship to attend AFP’s annual ICON event
• IDEA Initiatives – Be The Cause supports inclusion and diversity initiatives such as providing scholarships
• Ethics – Be The Cause supports efforts surrounding ethics work
• Research – Be The Cause supports cutting edge research in the field of fundraising as a profession

Your gift to the AFP Foundation for Philanthropy helps them develop and implement new programs and enhance existing ones like scholarships, education and research.  A portion of every donation that a donor makes goes back to their local chapter to support local programs.
