Greetings,
Welcome to 2025!
Since joining AFP in 2017, I’ve been so lucky to get to know many incredible fundraisers in our community. What started as just attending monthly meetings turned into volunteering for NPD, serving on the board, and, most importantly, finding my people—colleagues, mentors, and friends who just get this work.
If you’re looking to grow, connect, and be part of this community, I encourage you to jump in and get involved with AFP this year! Whether that means attending events, volunteering, or just reaching out to a fellow member for coffee, there’s a place for you here.
We've included a short survey to help us shape the best possible experience for you. Whether you’ve been part of AFP for years or are just getting started in the nonprofit world, we’d love your feedback. Please take a few minutes to share your thoughts—we want to make sure we’re meeting your needs.
I also want to give a huge shoutout to this year’s board—each person brings unique talents and perspectives, and I’m so grateful for their willingness to serve.
I’m looking forward to a great year together. Let’s make it a good one!
Gratefully,
Haley Bell
