Cancellation Policy
Cancellations less than 3 business days prior will not receive a refund. Please note members will not be able to swap their registration for events with a non-member.
If you are unable to attend an event after registering, your registration may be donated or transferred to another individual. In alignment with AFP-GPC’s IDEA principles, we will prioritize transferring registration to a fundraiser from an underrepresented or historically marginalized community and/or our Emerging Leaders cohort whenever possible. Please notify [email protected] at least 48 hours before the event; if less notice is given, we will do our best to accommodate the transfer.
AFP-GPC is seeking proposals for our upcoming 2026 Calendar of Educational Sessions. Please complete the online RFP form to submit your proposal. Submissions are evaluated quarterly.
Education programs, conferences, networking, volunteer involvement and professional advancement are among the many benefits you will receive from involvement with AFP – Greater Philadelphia Chapter
Is Prospect Development Principled?
Join us for a highly interactive discussion on the use and storage of donor data and prospect research. In
the wake of data scandals, security concerns, and a growing number of new data privacy laws, is traditional
prospect research still relevant and appropriate for fundraising? How does this ever-changing landscape
affect how we fundraise and manage our donors’ data. What are the ethical implications in managing
information and using publicly available data? This session will explore a 2020 survey where nonprofits
share their practices and compare this to the new realities in research and data, discuss the ethics
surrounding them, and how best to ensure your program uses and manages data effectively.
