Will You “Be the Cause?”
What is BE the CAUSE? BE the CAUSE is the AFP Foundation’s annual, unrestricted fund that supports the pillars of the fundraising profession: ethical practice, education, research, leadership development, and a community of inclusion and diversity.
BE the CAUSE helps to fund local, national, and international programs, including scholarships, leadership development, education, and much more. A portion of every donation that a donor makes goes back to their local chapter to support local programs.
On average, AFP-GPC receives $1,200 from the AFP Foundation from the BE the CAUSE Campaign! That is only possible because of the generosity of our members. Thank You!
Each and every day, the important work you do demonstrates that you are a leader in effecting change in our community, making it a much better place for all of us. These three words—Empower, Strengthen, Transform— describe WHAT you do as a fundraiser and WHY you do it.
When you give to the BE the CAUSE Campaign, benefiting both our chapter and the AFP Foundation for Philanthropy, you are investing in the future of our profession and advancing philanthropy for the greater good.
The BE the CAUSE Campaign, with several other sources of funding, supports Professional Development Grants, known as the Chamberlain Scholarship Program. These grants are provided to first-time attendees at the AFP International Conference on Fundraising. The conference provides an opportunity for nonprofit professionals to develop their knowledge and skills in fundraising while exchanging ideas with colleagues around the world.
Your investment in the AFP Foundation for Philanthropy will help support local, national, and international programs.
