Diversity Fellows & Coach Program
The Fellows Program offers the opportunity to learn through interaction with peers that have significant fundraising experience (at least five years). Coaches may advise on career paths, share information on regional development conferences and seminars or provide more detailed information relating to specific aspects of development. The guidance and relationship overall will be guided primarily by the desires of the fellow. The Fellows Program is intended to further the career skills and objectives of beginning/early development professionals or members new to the area. It is not designated to provide long term or extensive organizational assistance.
2025 Diversity Fellows & Coach Applications are now Open!
For more information on the Diversity Fellows/Coach program, please contact Co-Chairs Maya Robinson and Francesca Frederick.
Every year, AFP honors chapters for achieving goals that align with key objectives in its long-range strategic plan. Chapters receive the Friends of Diversity Designation for performing specific activities designed to increase diversity and inclusion within fundraising and public awareness of the importance of philanthropy.

AFP is committed to the principles of inclusion, diversity, equity and access (IDEA) in the fundraising profession, the philanthropic sector and through all of society. AFP is involved in numerous projects and partnerships related to IDEA. Visit afpidea.org to learn more.
