AFP Featured on KAET Channel 8!
As our resident cross-cultural ‘guru’, AFP board member Mark Walker not only successfully spearheaded this month’s Hispanics in Philanthropy luncheon and panel discussion, he landed a spot on KAET’s Horizonte program which aired on Thursday, November 5th!
Mark shared about the reasons behind the luncheon event along with his work in building partnerships with Latino communities both locally and internationally in terms of philanthropy. We deeply thank Mark for his efforts and for representing our AFP chapter on this exciting program!

Consider a Gift to our AFP Chapter Scholarship Fund!
While many of you have made a commitment to the Every Member Campaign – and we thank you for your support – we are asking all of you to consider a gift to our Greater Arizona Chapter Scholarship Fund – our goal is $3,000 – and we need your help!
This year we all recognize the challenges facing our organizations – reducing expense budgets, cutting staff hours or even staff, while still trying to provide the services so needed in the community
Our AFP Chapter is no different, and while our Board of Directors has carefully reviewed our budget and has reduced expenses over the course of the year, one of the areas it has impacted is our Scholarship Assistance Fund.
Requests for scholarship assistance to programs and conferences, as well as the support of our Professional Education Mentor Program, have increased, but the fund cannot meet the demand.
That’s why your donation is so important, and is a perfect way to ‘invest’ back into strengthening the profession of fundraising. Gifts can be made in any denomination – by check or credit card – just go to our website and download the Scholarship Fund form, complete the information, and mail it to our chapter office.
Your support is greatly appreciated and will help provide the important education and training so important to success – give a gift which truly makes a difference – and helps people achieve their goals in life! For a donation form, click here!

Communications Committee
Congrats to Laine Seaton, our incoming committee chair for 2010, for her work in getting AFP some TV exposure! Laine was able to get Mark Walker, our Hispanic Initiative chair, an on-air interview on KAET’s Horizonte program. As soon as we upload the segment to our Web site, we’ll let you know so you can take a peek.
The committee is working on the development of an electronic communications policy for the chapter. Once presented to the board and approved, we’ll have something definitive for our members and partners who wish to send e-blasts or post content to our newsletter and/or Web site.
You can be one of the dozens of graduates who have benefited from this valuable program offered by AFP Greater AZ. The 8-month program guides nonprofit professionals new to the fundraising field (1-5 years) through a structured development curriculum and enables them to master and move beyond the basics.
Hear what soon-to-be graduate, Loren Klecka of the Phoenix Symphony shares about her experience in the AFP Professional Mentor Program.
Don’t Forget To Track!
Just a reminder to folks who are pursuing their CFRE to make sure to keep track of the AFP programs you attend by using the CFRE Tracking Form. Your attendance will count as Continuing Education points towards CFRE certification or recertification.
