Welcome to AFP Greater Philadelphia!

Message From AFP-GPC

The Association of Fundraising Professionals – Greater Philadelphia Chapter (AFP-GPC) exists to provide professional development and educational opportunities for those within the unique field of fundraising – whether you’re a frontline fundraiser, advancement services professional, development communications specialist, etc. – while also providing an extensive network of peers throughout our region — and connected to 27,000+ members worldwide of AFP.

In all things, AFP-GPC seeks to ensure that our members are supported. We recognize that the Black and Brown members of our fundraising community have faced and continue to face particularly difficult days. As part of our desire to do more than empathize, AFP-GPC has started ongoing programming to specifically explore issues of race, diversity, access, inclusion, and other necessary topics. You can find these resources on our website.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and success of our online/virtual programming, we continue to offer a combination of online/virtual and in-person programming and opportunities to connect – throughout the five counties, we serve – and plan to do so indefinitely. Check out our Events page to learn more.

In the coming months, the Board of Directors will be updating our chapter’s Strategic Plan, seeking to further build on the culture of our chapter to prepare each other for the fundraising challenges around the corner. Additionally, our numerous committees offer members the opportunity to cultivate leadership skills, connect with peers regularly, and give back to their profession by sharing their unique skills. We would love for you to join us in this mission. Please contact [email protected] to learn more about these opportunities to volunteer, serve, and engage.
