Scholarships are Available


If membership in AFP is cost-prohibitive for you, we want to help! Consider applying for a scholarship like AFP member Rachel Stark did recently:

"The pandemic hit while I was in the midst of moving to Portland. COVID closures and budget cuts led me to several months of unemployment in a city that I didn’t yet have connections in. The scholarships from AFP made it possible for me to continue staying relevant through learning, conversations with nonprofit professionals in the region, and of course, networking. As the new chair for the scholarship committee, I want for others to take advantage of the opportunities that our scholarships provide!" 
-- Rachel Stark, Catlin Gabel Fund Assistant Director & AFP Scholarship Chair
