Donations

 The AFP ND Northern Plains Chapter is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization established in 1983, to serve individuals engaged in or associated with charitable fund raising.  It is one of over 200 chapters that comprise the National Association of Fundraising Professtionals (AFP).

The AFP ND establishes and advances ethical fundraising principles (practices) for those engaged in the fund raising profession.  This is accomplished by requiring adherence to a code of ethics, providing educational opportunities, and networking for the exchange of knowledge.  These opportunites also equip fundraisers to promote public understanding of philanthropy.

Membership in the AFP ND offers opportunities for those new to the profession of fundraising to learn skills from members of long standing.  For established fund raisers membership provides career advancement through a nationally recognized certification program. 

The AFP ND Northern Plains Chapter strives hard to succeed in fulfilling nonprofit excellence for the advancement of the communities in the state of North Dakota and for the members who we are affiliated with in Northwest Minnesota.

The goal of AFP ND is to support nonprofit staff and organizations to excel and improve in the nonprofit sector through management operations, education, ethics and donors rights; in order to build communities and to address the community needs.
