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.

    Planned giving is one of the most powerful ways to build long-term sustainability for your organization. In this first Coffee and Coaching session, we will walk through the essential building blocks of a successful planned giving program, from leadership alignment to donor identification and simple, effective marketing. Participants will learn how to have meaningful, values-centered conversations that inspire donors to consider a legacy gift, and how to fold legacy messages naturally into ongoing communications. This session is designed to give you practical tools you can use immediately, whether you are starting from scratch or refreshing an existing program.
