Please be our guest at our next AFPSEO luncheon featuring Mr. Ian M. Fraser MBA, FAHP, FCEP Consultant in Philanthropy
Mr. Fraser will be presenting some ideas that any not-for-profit organization can consider as it promotes ‘philanthropy’ with donors of different capacity, with emphasis placed on asset-based gifts not always encouraged.
