Dear Fundraising Friends,
Thank you for making an impact, today – National Philanthropy Day - and every day. You might be reading this, looking around at your endless to-do lists and thinking “I haven’t really done anything today”. But you have.
You showed up!
Professional fundraising is an impactful career path. The word “philanthropy” (at its root) means love of humankind. Every day, throughout Nova Scotia, Cape Breton and PEI you help people and organizations step up to do good and create meaningful changes in our communities.
I encourage you to take a moment and think about AFP Nova Scotia’s 2024 National Philanthropy Day theme: staying connected.
It can be a daily juggling act as fundraising professionals to stay connected to our donors, our mission, vision and some days even the concept of giving with heart. And with all that professional juggling, it can be a challenge to keep our motivational cups full.
This National Philanthropy Day, our AFP Nova Scotia chapter invites you to indulge in our theme of “staying connected” and RSVP to our end of year meet & greet on December 11, 2024 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Bauld Centre, Africadian Empowerment Academy, 18 Wilfred Jackson Way, Westphal, NS.
A lot of us are in our “busy seasons” but I hope you can take a moment to breathe and connect with your AFP Nova Scotia community for a cup of cheer, a delightful snack, and enjoy the company of your fundraising friends.
All the best to you, today and every day.
