Welcome!

Welcome to AFPLI, the premier association of fundraising professionals on Long Island! Our active chapter is proud to present a variety of educational programs throughout the year, with a special emphasis on helping fundraisers grow their careers through education, networking, and a supportive group of professionals.

Whether you are with a small start-up nonprofit, a mid-sized agency or one of Long Island’s biggest 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, connections, and ideas. We like to say that AFPLI is BY fundraisers, FOR fundraisers.

If you have any questions, please send an email to info@afpli.org and we’ll make sure to get it to the people who have the right answers for you.

We invite you to join us at our monthly educational programs in 2025. We hope to see you soon!

AFPLI President 2024-2026
