If you serve as President of an AFP chapter, a planned giving council (CGP), or any fundraising professional group, this is your invitation to lead the conversation.
Selected submissions will be published in GIVING magazine—a nationally recognized voice in fundraising—and on Philanthropy.org, a growing platform for nonprofit leadership and innovation.
Only a limited number of chapter leaders will be featured. Your insights will reach thousands of fundraising professionals nationwide, amplifying your leadership and elevating your chapter’s visibility.
