Happy Spring! I know you are as excited as I am that we can leave behind cold, short days and enjoy this season of rejuvenation and sunshine!
Recently, our chapter was 1 of 37 chapters to be awarded the Ten Star Gold Award for outstanding achievements and dedication to increasing professionalism within fundraising and public awareness of philanthropy. And we were 1 of 82 chapters to receive the Friends of Diversity Designation for our efforts to increase inclusion by embracing and engaging diverse individuals and organizations within the fundraising profession. Thank you to our past and current board members for working so hard to achieve these awards for our chapter.
Please join us on April 12 for our Spring Social which promises to be a fun networking event and on April 17 when we will learn more about Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Access (I.D.E.A.). AFP is committed to developing and maintaining a diverse organization that reflects and embraces the diversity of the communities we serve throughout Hampton Roads and we look forward to Synetheia Newby’s presentation.
Mark your calendar for our National Philanthropy Day Celebration on November 28, 2018!

Each

leader in effecting change in our community, making it a much better
place for all of us. These three words—Empower, Strengthen,
Transform—describe WHAT you do as a fundraiser and WHY you do it.
When
you give to the BE the CAUSE Campaign, benefiting both our chapter and
the AFP Foundation for Philanthropy, you are investing in the future of
our profession and advancing philanthropy for the greater good.
Once
again, BLACKBAUD has agreed to partner with the AFP Foundation for the
"Good Takeover Challenge". Blackbaud will provide a $10 match per donor
between April 15-17. You can go online to afpfoundation.org/bethecause

our local chapter!
