Chapter Resources

AFP South Sound (AFPSS) is pleased to provide a variety of resources to our members as well as to the broader community, including:

• Announcements Archive: Access an archive of chapter news, spotlights, articles and special resources shared with the AFPSS community.
  

• Chamberlain Scholarship: Each year, AFPSS provides $500 in travel support for a member of our local chapter to attend the AFP International Conference. (AFP International covers the recipient's registration fee, approximately an $800 value.) Scholarship applications are typically due in October, with selection made by year's end. Available to current chapter members only. Become an AFPSS member today for this and other benefits! Applications for 2025 are due on January 15, 2025 and can be downloaded here and submitted to afpsouthsound@gmail.com.

• Diverse Communities Scholarship: 

  As a community of inclusion, the Association of Fundraising Professionals seeks, embraces, and engages diverse individuals, groups, and organizations with a broad representation of experiences, perspectives, thoughts and cultures within the fundraising profession. Through this strategic initiative, AFP is committed to activities that increase awareness of diversity issues. As part of this commitment, AFP Global and the AFP Foundation for Philanthropy have created a diversity scholarship program to provide financial assistance for the professional development of fundraisers who are themselves members of one or more diverse communities, or are employed by grassroots organizations that primarily serve diverse populations.

• E-newsletter: Members and non-members are welcome to sign up for AFPSS's monthly e-newsletter and special e-blasts, which include details about upcoming programs and events as well as member highlights and resources. We do not sell our list, and you can unsubscribe at any time.

• Job Center: Find out how to post regional jobs to AFPSS members. (Note that an online listing of regional jobs is not supported at this time.)

• Member Directory: Look up and connect with other members you meet at AFPSS events or would like to meet. Available to current chapter members only. Become an AFPSS member today for this and other benefits!

• Mentorship Program: One-on-one matches between knowledgeable, well-rounded Mentors and Mentees who are relatively new to development or interested in learning more about a particular area in fundraising.
