Nonprofits of all sizes are represented in our membership, which also includes consultants and other business professionals serving the nonprofit sector.

Our Chapter’s long tradition of collegiality is witnessed by our more than 25 years of collaborative success in hosting November’s National Philanthropy Day activities. Our local awards luncheon offers every area nonprofit an opportunity to celebrate and recognize its donors and volunteers.

  • Joint Statement on "The One, Big, Beautiful Bill" Tax Legislation

    By: Joseph Stabb Joseph Stabb , one month ago

    The U.S. House of Representatives passed the tax legislation known as "The One, Big, Beautiful Bill" early this morning on a razor-thin 215-214 vote. The bill will now go to the Senate and is expected to be taken up after the Memorial Day recess.

    AFP, in conjunction with several other sector partners, has issued a joint statement expressing concern about the fact that the bill relies on nearly $50 billion in new and increased taxes on the charitable sector to pay for other tax cuts.
