Welcome!

The AFP TX-Coastal Bend Chapter was established in 2002 to empower individuals and organizations to practice ethical fundraising through professional education, networking, research and advocacy.

If you are a fundraising professional, board member of a nonprofit, community volunteer, student, or affiliate business who works regularly with non-profits you have come to the right place. We are here to provide networking and educational opportunities as well as career development that will enable you to continue to make a difference for the organizations which you serve.

  • Lunch & Learn: Building Boards That Deliver

    image

    Nonprofit boards are often deeply committed to the mission, yet many organizations struggle with inconsistent engagement, unclear expectations, and uneven fundraising participation. Building Boards That Deliver addresses this challenge by focusing on the infrastructure, systems, and clarity boards need in order to perform at a high level.

  • Lunch & Learn: Flat Is The New Up (Budgeting)

    image

    As a fundraiser, you are asked to make predictions about the future, such as how much you will raise, when the pledge or funds arrive, and whether it will be an unrestricted donation. After a brief introduction exercise with all participants, we will explore common approaches to budgeting, common pitfalls to avoid, and develop talking points you can use the very next time you begin the budgeting process.
