AFP St. Louis - A place to START, a place to GROW, a place to LEAD

Since 1975, AFP St. Louis has been an important part of our region’s nonprofit community. Our chapter has contributed greatly to the career development of generations of fundraisers—including you. As a result, we are approaching you and others to ask for your support of AFP-STL so our chapter can continue to grow and thrive.

AFP-STL makes it possible for fundraisers to stay current, to be connected through mentoring, to share a broader network, and to access the support necessary to thrive. Today, our hope is to create a sustainable base of member support for AFP-STL to benefit our chapter for years to come.

As a seasoned philanthropic leader, your support of our chapter is vital. You know first-hand the value of your membership. You remember what it did for you as a “newbie” and as you progressed throughout your career. AFP-STL is always there, and it is imperative that it continues to serve our profession for future fundraisers. We need your partnership to ensure AFP-STL maintains a position to support all of us, and to welcome new fundraisers through diverse and inclusive learning opportunities.
