Professional fundraisers can be found at the heart of every charitable organization. We connect community needs to people who care and can make a difference in the lives of others. We are agents of change for the betterment of our community and our world. Our work touches, changes and sometimes even saves countless lives in ways of which we may even not be aware.

                                   

As the largest community of professional fundraisers in the world, the Association of Fundraising Professionals has more than 30,000 members within 207 chapters. The AFP Lowcountry Chapter offers professionals along the state's southeast coastal region a wide range of educational, networking and mentoring programs that support and enrich each member's professional experience and skills. Its goals are to:

                                                                 

* provide educational programming for the professional development & growth of fundraising professionals

* promote ethical behavior in the fundraising profession

* enhance philanthropy and volunteerism

                                                                                      

This website is just one of the ways the AFP Lowcountry Chapter seeks to meet these goals. Here you can find educational presentations and resources, career information, details on upcoming events, and membership opportunities. Participation is open to development professionals, non-profit executives and board members, fundraising consultants, volunteers, and others involved in the non-profit sector. We hope you will join us for one of our luncheons, networking socials or professional development events.

                                                                                                           

Meanwhile, if you have suggestions on how this website can better meet your needs vis-a-vis the goals outlined above, we welcome your feedback.
