New Chapter Policy on Job Listings
We encourage AFP members to submit notices for publication
in our newsletter and for e-mail distribution. This service
is free to any AFP member for positions within their organizations.
However, a $100 fee for non-member, outside listings will
be requested prior to publishing any announcement.
This practice places a higher value on our member list and
reflects the standard practice of many other AFP chapters
nationally, while providing a tangible member benefit and
revenue for our chapter.

AFP members share their "how to" tips and fundraising success
stories or Management File, which provides non-profit

Besides these regular features, you'll find informative
articles on public policy news, technology in fundraising,
