Chamberlain Scholarships |
|
Do you have 1 to 5 years of fund raising experience? Would you like to go to the International Conference?
Apply Today for the Chamberlain Scholarship
Applications Due: September 30, 2009
Each year, members of the Charlotte Chapter are asked to participate in AFP's Every Member Campaign. Our chapter has always responded, and as a result, has access to one of the most visible benefits of our financial support of and association with AFP - the Chamberlain Scholarship.
The Chamberlain Scholarship program was created to help individuals who are employed as full-time fundraisers in nonprofit organizations develop their knowledge and skill in fundraising. The scholarship specifically funds a $500 grant to help make it possible for someone who is new to fundraising (no more than five years experience), and who has never attended an AFP International Conference, to attend. The 2010 conference will be held April 11th-14th in Baltimore, Maryland where AFP will celebrate 50 years of working to advance the profession while celebrating fundraising's bright future and its impact on people and societies around the world.
Additional information about the International Conference and the history of the Chamberlain Scholarship may be obtained by visiting the Association of Fundraising Professionals Website at http://www.afpnet.org. The application deadline is September 30th so act quickly to take advantage of this great opportunity. The recipient will be selected in October and the Chamberlain Scholarship will be awarded at the National Philanthropy Day luncheon on November 18, 2009. Click HERE to print an application form.
Additional information is available by contacting Amy Tribble at (704) 372-7961 or by sending an email to amy@cfcrights.org.

Board Member Profile |
|
 Shanon Hinson, the Chair of the Education, Ethics and Youth in Philanthropy Committee of AFP Charlotte, answers a few questions in this month's profile.
What got you into development? I've always done volunteer work and was particularly inspired by my participation with the Information Technology Council with the Charlotte Chamber years ago. It was really my first exposure to grant writing and soliciting businesses for financial support. I thought---I really like this---could this be a career path for me?
Your first development job? I'm probably an anomaly in the development profession, as Thompson Child & Family Focus IS my first development job! I've been with the Agency since early 2003 in annual giving.
How did you get into development? I had a family friend that was a long-time development professional---I met with her to "pick her brain" about how to get into fundraising as a profession and the rest is history!
