Dear
Lowcountry Chapter AFP Member:
AFP needs our support! Through the AFP Foundation for Philanthropy, the AFP Every Member Campaign is a way for
AFP members to give back to AFP and ensure that AFP can continue to provide grants to chapters and support chapter activities
that advance ethical and effective fundraising.
The AFP Lowcountry Chapter’s Every Member Campaign goal for
2010 is $2,200. The Lowcountry AFP board has already achieved 100% participation in the Every Member Campaign and would
like to ask for you to join us in supporting the Every Member Campaign.
Your gift to the AFP Foundation
for Philanthropy will help our AFP Chapter achieve our goal of raising $2,200 in 2010. You can make your gift online
safely and securely on AFP’s website or by completing the attached pledge form and
mailing or faxing to:

If our chapter reaches or exceeds our EMC goal by Dec. 31, 2010, the Lowcountry Chapter will
qualify to apply for an EMC Chapter Partnership Grant, which will give our chapter 25% of the monies
received to use within our chapter in 2011.
