Through the support of the Herbert E. Kaplan Fund at the Rhode Island Foundation, AFP-RI is able to provide full and partial professional development scholarships for AFP-RI trainings, education workshops.
Prospective scholarship recipients can include executive directors, development staff and leadership volunteers of grassroots and culturally diverse organizations. AFP membership is not necessarily required to qualify for a scholarship. These scholarships seek to subsidize, in part or in full, the cost of attending AFP-RI sessions.
