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.
