Community Announcements

The Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) Central New York chapter has been named a 2020 Ten Star Chapter!
Every year, AFP, the largest association of professional fundraisers in the world, honors chapters for achieving goals that align with key objectives in its long-range strategic plan. Chapters receive the Ten Star Award for performing specific activities designed to increase professionalism within fundraising and public awareness of the importance of philanthropy. Just one-third of all AFP chapters are named Ten Star Chapters, so Central New York is one of a select group  to earn this honor!

AFP-CNY recognizes the unique challenges presented by the threat of COVID-19 and is committed to maintaining the health and safety of our members and community.
At this time, currently scheduled meetings will either be cancelled or offered virtually through May 31, upon which time we will reevaluate and reassess.
We will continue to monitor this rapidly developing situation, following all guidelines set forth and provide updates to our membership as we learn more about the impact of COVID-19.  The health and well-being of our membership and our community at large is our top priority.

AFP CNY is pleased to announce that Bridget D. of Oswego County Opportunities has been chosen as the 2020 Chamberlain Scholarship recipient!
Bridget will be joining more than 3,500 fundraising professionals at AFP ICON 2020 in Baltimore, MD in March and have the opportunity to attend sector-shifting sessions covering the most important topics in fundraising.  
Congratulations Bridget!
