Scholarships

Scholarships are the backbone of the Foundation for Philanthropy’s mission. We provide hundreds of scholarships every year for fundraisers – both AFP members and non-members – to help them elevate their professional skills through education, networking, leadership development, and more. Our scholarships serve young professionals, those who self-identify as diverse, those new to the profession, and all fundraisers who need these resources and opportunities (and now, also those whose career has been affected by COVID-19).

Please consider supporting these critical initiatives by making a donation.
