Special Announcement: Our March Luncheon has been changed to a webinar given the COVID-19 health situation.
The AFP Sierra Chapter Board of Directors has been monitoring the recent developments with the coronavirus (COVID-19). Because the health and safety of our members and guests who attend our events is of the upmost importance, the Board has decided to not hold the program at a public venue, but instead offer the program as a webinar for just a $10 registration fee for members, $15 for nonmembers. The webinar will be at 12:00 noon Wednesday, March 18th.
If you have already registered for the lunch price, you will be issued a refund minus the webinar fee. Of course, if you would like a full refund, we're happy to do that. Please let us know if you would like a full refund by 5 pm on Tuesday, March 17th. If you selected "Pay at the Door", you will need to pay online before the webinar. An email will be sent to you for that online payment on Monday morning.
If you have not registered yet, you may still do so below.
An email with the webinar link will be sent to you before the start time. Please watch your email and check your spam email if you don't see the link. If you have any questions, please email Sherry Griffin Grundy at afpsierrachapter@gmail.com
We appreciate your understanding and flexibility.

Sierra Chapter President

Use online tools and strategies to find grants, identify donors, improve search engine traffic, create a more compelling fundraising case, create and build needed relationships, have valuable information at your fingertips, create eye-catching videos, and identify the giving capacity of donors and prospects.

Learn about numerous free websites, grants, and tools to enable you to use your online presence to help achieve your organization's goals.
