BECOME A MENTOR

Share your skills and expertise with a member of the fundraising community.

Send an email to mentorship@afpglv.org and get started today.

Level 1: Flash Consult

Would you like to share your expertise without a major time commitment?

You'll provide a single 30-60 minute phone call or virtual meeting to help colleagues with urgent questions. This commitment is typically one-time only, with the option to schedule follow-up conversations if both parties agree.

Level 2: Targeted Expertise

Can you offer specialized knowledge in a particular area? 

You'll commit to 1-2 focused interactions (calls, emails, or document reviews) over a 2-3 week period.  This typically requires 2-3 hours total, allowing you to help colleagues with specific challenges in your area(s) of specialty.

Level 3: Seasonal Guidance

Do you enjoy providing ongoing support? 

You'll commit to regular check-ins (typically biweekly or monthly) over a 3-6 month period.  This relationship requires approximately 1-2 hours per month to provide consistent guidance throughout a campaign or initiative.

Level 4: Comprehensive Partnership

Are you passionate about developing fundraising professionals? 

You'll commit to a structured relationship over 6-12 months, including monthly meetings (1-2 hours each), intermittent check-ins, and availability for occasional questions.  This deeper commitment of 3-4 hours monthly supports holistic professional development or navigation of complex challenges.
