Welcome to AFPLI

President's Message

 

Welcome to AFPLI, the premier association for fundraising professionals on Long Island!

Whether you are new to the field, or an experienced fundraiser...whether you serve one of Long Island's small not for profits, a mid-sized agency or one of our large educational or healthcare organizations, there’s something for you at AFPLI.  

AFPLI offers you a community of friendly colleagues who are always ready to share their knowledge, mentorship, connections, and ideas. We have an active chapter, with a robust schedule of educational and networking programs throughout the year. Your membership also entitles you to access the resources of a global fundraising community. 

I hope to see you at one--or more--of our monthly educational programs in 2026. Please bookmark our website and follow us on LinkedIn to stay up to date on all of the exciting things we've got planned. And, as always, please email info@afpli.org with any questions, and we’ll be sure that the people who have the right answers get in touch with you.

Sima Matthes
