About Our Chapter

AFP Interior BC Chapter (formerly Okanagan Chapter) was formed in 2014. Our board is made up of a number of people in our communities who are working in the Fundraising Profession and are committed to supporting others to grow as professionals. 

The purpose of our chapter is to inspire philanthropy in our community. 

Our organization will accomplish our purpose by supporting members in their quest to inspire philanthropy in their respective areas of influence.
