  • IDEA COHORT 2022-2023 taking applications

    3 months ago

    AFP South Sound is excited to launch a new program: The IDEA Cohort. The Cohort will serve 5 people in its first year, and launches in August! This free year-long program was created to: 

    • Identify and engage diverse voices within the broader nonprofit community
    • Increase access to fundraising training and networking opportunities by removing common barriers
    • Provide networking and mentoring opportunities to Cohort members 
    • Empower members to develop, utilize, and share their talents and passion to benefit our community

    The program is designed to provide a growth opportunity for those doing fundraising work (paid or volunteer) in our community and who are committed to IDEA principles.

    Selection priority will be given to people or organizations that are underserved and/or underrepresented in the fundraising field.

    If you think you are a good fit for this program, or know someone who might be, feel free to share this information. We encourage people who are not current members of AFP South Sound or other fundraising organizations to apply. 

    Want to learn more about the IDEA Cohort? Plan to attend an info session on Friday, July 8th at noon, hosted by IDEA Committee Chair Jill Rose. The meeting will be recorded and shared with those who can’t attend in person.
