Dear AFP members and friends of the DFW Philanthropy in Action Conference:

Due to the current health crisis, the Boards of Directors of the Greater Dallas and Fort Worth Metro Chapters of the Association of Fundraising Professionals and the Conference Planning Committee have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 AFP DFW Philanthropy in Action Conference, June 4-5, 2020 at Irving Convention Center. We sincerely regret the circumstances but believe this is the right decision to protect the health and safety of all sponsors, speakers and attendees.
