This month, meet Vicki Corbin, National Philanthropy Day Luncheon Committee Chair, and Manager, Community Giving at the Saskatoon Public Library.
How long have you been in fundraising & how did you discover the fundraising world?
As a university student, I worked as a camp counselor at Camp Easter Seal, which inspired me to focus my career path on the non-profit world. After completing my Marketing degree, I worked in non-profit Marketing and Communications, which quickly led me to fundraising. Over the past 25 years in the non-profit realm, I have worked for small grass-roots organizations, National charities and large institutions. At this point I can confidently say that I have experienced pretty much every fundraising method out there!
What is something you love about being a fundraiser?
My favourite thing about being a fundraiser is the people I am fortunate enough to meet and work with. I love a good story and when people share their philanthropic stories with me, it fills my heart. I feel privileged to be a part of donors’ stories by helping them fulfill their goals for making the world a better place in their own way.
Why are you involved with AFP?
I became involved with AFP as a volunteer for the National Philanthropy Day Luncheon. It’s such a feel-good event that celebrates the many individuals and organizations that strengthen our community through their acts of generosity. I’m delighted to be serving the role of Committee Chair for the 2026 NPD event.
What causes are special to you?
As an avid reader and all-around library lover, I am a proud supporter of my current employer, Saskatoon Public Library. SaskAbilities and Camp Easter Seal will always hold a special place in my heart and I’m also partial to environmental charities that preserve our planet for future generations.
