Overview
Mission
In alignment with the mission of the Association of Fundraising Professionals AFP International, our chapter fosters development and growth of nonprofit executives and their fundraising professionals by promoting high ethical standards in the fundraising profession through education and certification programs.
What it reported doing in 2024
We organized and hosted lunch meetings, workshops, and other programs throughout the year on educational topics. In our catchment area and to exchange knowledge as well as to promote public awareness and understanding of philanthropic fundraising. Specifically, we offered one program as we do on an annual basis devoted to the topic of Ethics in Fundraising. Throughout the year we averaged attendance of over 50 individuals at our monthly educational meetings and workshops and over 500 at our major annual philanthropy awards and recognition event. We promoted and enhanced our community's awareness of philanthropy and fundraising through the programs we offered.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
