Welcome!
Welcome to the Central Virginia Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals!
As a member of AFP, you have a unique opportunity to connect directly to other development professionals and nonprofit leaders throughout the Central Virginia region, as well as access to a broad network through AFP Global. AFP provides education, mentorship, career guidance, research, thought leadership, and much more.
This year, the Central Virginia Chapter aims to provide ongoing opportunities to learn, lead, and engage in meaningful ways. Our Chapter continues to adapt to meet unique circumstances and evolving challenges within the community, and our commitment to advancing the fundraising profession and supporting our members remains strong.
If you are not currently a member of AFP, I encourage you to explore our Chapter’s programming as well as resources available at AFP Global, and consider
becoming a member today. We also invite you to become more engaged by learning more about the Chapter and
volunteering on a committee.
Throughout the upcoming year, the Chapter will:
- Continue to provide meaningful professional development opportunities with monthly programming
- Continue to celebrate Central Virginia’s philanthropic spirit through National Philanthropy Day this November
- Further the vital work of Chapter programs and initiatives that strive to create a more inclusive and accessible environment for all within the profession, including the Inclusive Fundraising Fellowship program and Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Access (IDEA)
- Form a new strategic plan that outlines goals to best support our members’ needs and enhance our Chapter’s impact
We hope that you will join us at an AFP program or virtual event soon. We encourage you to explore the Chapter website as well as resources offered through
AFP Global. If you have questions, please
contact me or
Sarah Westphal, Chapter Administrator.
With gratitude,
Kate BoylesPresident, AFP Central Virginia
