60th Anniversary Issue

Evolution of AFP Beyond Fundraising—60 years AFP was formed to develop a code of ethics and help create a profession. Now, the profession is established, and a whole new set of skills and knowledge are needed, and a whole new role for the association.

The “We All Make Mistakes/Don’t Panic/You Got This” Issue

It’s October, the beginning of the giving season and nearing the end of the year. That critical time for most charities. But look, things happen. Projects get delayed. Staff leave. Mistakes are made. Timelines become…skewed. The Fall issue is here to help:

  • How to Salvage…errr….Still Meet Your Fundraising Goal if you got sidetracked
  • End of Year Solicitations. If you still haven’t gotten there, now’s the time. Ideas and advice
  • Donor Cultivation—Personal Touches during the holidays.
  • The Last Two Weeks of 2020…and the First Two of 2021….how to make sure all the bases are covered.

Plus, we’ll be celebrating AFP Ethics Month. You can make mistakes, change timelines and even miss deadlines (though you shouldn’t). But we always need to be ethical with our donors and ensure trust in our organizations, especially during the all-important Giving Season!
