IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Access)

Our Mission:
AFP San Diego engages a diverse community of fundraising professionals by fostering an inclusive environment that values a full spectrum of identities, experiences, and perspectives, ensuring every voice is heard. Our mission is to champion innovative approaches, best practices, and emerging technologies that drive meaningful change. We are committed to creating a supportive space for mentorship, leadership, and resilience, empowering our community to adapt and thrive in a constantly changing world. Together, we work toward a more equitable and impactful future.

We provide IDEA-based programming to the public year-round, foster an inclusive environment of empowerment for BIPOC fundraisers and our allies, and work with the AFP board and committees to create a more welcoming environment that will retain and foster diversity amongst its membership, board, donors, and sponsors.

Support Us:
The IDEA committee and AFP San Diego strongly believe that finances should never be a barrier to access. Therefore, we offer up to three programs at no charge annually. If you would like to help us keep our programming accessible, please consider supporting us through a one-time donation.



Join Us:
The IDEA committee seeks philanthropic professionals to join its volunteer committee which meets online during the first Thursday of each month. For more information, please email Chapter Director Katie Gomez.
