SPRING FORWARD: A MAY DAY MESSAGE TO OUR FUNDRAISING COMMUNITY

Dear Colleagues,

May 1 has long been a day of meaning across cultures. It marks the arrival of Spring, a celebration of renewal, and a recognition of the contributions of workers and communities.

May Day feels especially fitting for our field. Fundraising, at its core, is about people coming together to build something better. But right now, many of our organizations are navigating real challenges. Economic pressure, shifting policies, and increasing community needs are asking more of our organizations and of us as fundraisers. Yet, this is also where the strength of our profession shows up most clearly.

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
