A profession is defined, in part, by the standards it set for itself. AFP takes that a step further with an advanced credential. The AFP Foundation actively seeks funds to ensure educational opportunities are available to fund raisers for the First Course in Fund Raising, the International Conference on Fund Raising and general educational courses on a national and chapter level. They help make communities better by volunteering their expertise in public service and by helping celebrate opportunities for better living made possible through philanthropy. AFP collaborates with collegial organizations, nationally and locally, to expand its reach and help create a more productive environment.
