NEW! AFPNEO DIVERSITY SCHOLAR SCHOLARSHIP
Eligibility: Members or Non-Members
Deadline: Apply Anytime
The Association of Fundraising Professionals Northeast Ohio Chapter (AFPNEO) is proud to offer the Diversity Scholar Scholarship, a new opportunity designed to support the professional growth of fundraisers from underrepresented communities. This scholarship reflects our chapter’s commitment to AFP Global’s principles of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access (IDEA) and our ongoing efforts to build a welcoming and representative fundraising community.
The Diversity Scholar Scholarship will be awarded to an individual whose background, experience, or leadership demonstrates a commitment to advancing diversity within the fundraising profession. AFPNEO is especially interested in increasing representation among our chapter membership across a range of dimensions, including—but not limited to—race and ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, geographic location, religious traditions, career stage, and professional background.
Recipients of this scholarship will join a network of changemakers working to create a more inclusive and equitable philanthropic sector. Through this opportunity, AFPNEO aims to elevate voices that reflect the broad spectrum of the communities we serve and to support the development of fundraising professionals who bring diverse perspectives and lived experiences to their work.
