Testimonials

"During my 23 years as a fundraising professional, membership in the North Dakota Area Chapter of AFP has been vital and valuable.  Members of the organization are always willing to share information to assist others in utilizing industry successful and best practices.  This is a profession that requires a 'support group' because many people do not understand what we do -- AFP provides that support and network."

"In 1984 I started my first fund development job at Bishop Ryan High School in Minot.  I knew nothing about fundraising.  It was only through the help and support of members of the North Dakota Chapter of NSFRE that I survived those first years of learning and growing as a fundraising professional.  Twenty-two years later, I am still in the profession.  I am still a member of AFP, and I still count on my network of friends in AFP for advice."

"When I was asked to establish a development office for our facility, I had no idea what to do.  When I found AFP, I had all the individual help I needed plus terrific educational experiences that deepened my knowledge.  Membership in AFP has been invaluable."
