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.

    Too often, nonprofit professionals get stuck in a cycle of nonstop events, rushed grants, and disengaged boards. This session offers a practical framework to break that cycle, design a mission-aligned development plan, and shift from reactive fundraising to intentional growth. Participants will learn how to set realistic goals, engage boards and volunteers, diversify revenue, and create actionable timelines. Walk away with tools, confidence, and a customizable framework for sustainable success.

    Join your AFP chapter for a round-table rotation of discussions to advance your career and learn the latest trends in fundraising. Each table will offer a 12-minute group session moderated by a local industry professional to bounce ideas and ask questions related to fundraising. Meet other local fundraising professionals, learn new ideas, and bond over similar experiences. You’ll only have time to visit five of the seven tables so choose wisely (or bring a friend)!
