BE the CAUSE

Be the Cause campaign logo

BE the CAUSE is the AFP Foundation for Philanthropy’s annual, unrestricted fund that supports all four pillars of our Case for Support. 

Your gift to the AFP Foundation for Philanthropy will allow us to develop and implement new programs and enhance existing ones like scholarships, education and research.  And don’t forget, BE the CAUSE is a cooperative annual fund that also provides direct benefit to your local community through your AFP chapter.
