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
April Coffee Conversation: Strategic Pivoting
The wisdom is that effective fundraising starts with a strong strategic plan. But in a rapidly changing world and in a moment when the pressure to make every dollar count is greater than ever, it’s getting harder to see strategic planning as essential rather than nice-to-have.
In this coffee hour, bring all your questions about the special relationship between strategic planning and fundraising to understand what makes it tick. What does planning look like for you in this moment? Are you struggling to stay nimble? How are you staying in sync with organizational strategy?
We’ll also talk about how planning is evolving in turbulent times and the increasing prevalence of shorter plans and contingency planning to ensure that strategic planning is robust enough for strategic pivoting.
We are offering two in-person locations:
- RSM (Center City): 30 S 17th St Suite 710, Philadelphia, PA 19103
- RSM (Suburbs): 518 Township Line Rd, Suite 300, Blue Bell, PA, 19422
*Registration is required for both locations; walk-ins cannot be accommodated.
*Registration will close on April 14th at 8:00 a.m.
When registering, please consider making a gift to AFP-GPC’s Scholarship Fund. Your support helps provide access to vital learning, networking, and mentorship opportunities for those who may not otherwise be able to participate—emerging professionals, small-shop fundraisers, students, and others with limited financial resources. All contributions directly support our commitment to IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access). Scholarships are awarded through programs like the IDEA Fellowship, monthly and Signature Event registrations, Emerging Leaders, and general professional development assistance. Together, we can build a more inclusive and empowered fundraising community.
