Increasing and diversifying income is an essential part of any successful organization. Today, more than ever, it is essential to build a broad and varied base of financial support. The Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) is presenting a new program that will offer AFP Chapters the opportunity to conduct basic level sessions on fundraising theory and practice. The Essentials of Fundraising series is composed of five modules that have been designed by experienced fundraising professionals to meet the real-world needs and challenges nonprofit organizations face every day.
