The Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) represents more than 30,000 members in 230 chapters throughout the world, working to advance philanthropy through advocacy, research, education and certification programs. The association fosters development and growth of fundraising professionals and promotes high ethical standards in the fundraising profession. For 25 years the South Dakota AFP chapter has been the standard-bearer for professionalism in fundraising. Our members have access to a rich network of people with varied experience and perspectives.
“I’ve
been involved with AFP for over 25 years. Without a doubt, that has
been a key factor in becoming successful in the field. AFP has so many
opportunities you don’t expect, if you get involved—from learning the
ropes to now having my ACFRE advanced certification. Every one of these
experiences helped me grow in my work. Now, it’s great to have friends
to call upon throughout the country if I ever need advice.”
