New to Fundraising? Never been to the AFP International Conference?
Each year, members of the Charlotte Chapter are asked to participate in AFP’s Every Member Campaign. Our chapter has always responded, and as a result, has access to one of the most visible benefits of our financial support of and association with AFP – the Chamberlain Scholarship.
The Chamberlain Scholarship program was created to help individuals who are employed as full-time fundraisers in nonprofit organizations develop their knowledge and skill in fundraising. The scholarship specifically funds a $500 grant to help make it possible for someone who is new to fundraising (no more than five years experience), and who has never attended an AFP International Conference, to attend. The 2009 conference will be held in New Orleans, Louisiana from March 29 – April 1, 2009.
Additional information about the International Conference and the history of the Chamberlain Scholarship may be obtained by visiting the Association of Fundraising Professionals Website at http://www.afpnet.org.
Applications are being accepted until September 30, 2008 and a recipient will be selected in October; the award will be presented to the recipient at Fundraising Day on November 10, 2008. For an application form, click HERE. Additional information is available by contacting Amy Tribble at (704) 372-7961 or by sending an email to amy@cfcrights.org
