Triangle Chapter Scholarships
Accepted on a rolling basis in 2022 unless otherwise stated
Invest in yourself! When you join the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) Triangle chapter, you receive the best resources for fundraising professionals, including access to mentoring, monthly Insight series, trainings, and state and international conferences. You’ll also meet colleagues in the region who understand the day-to-day challenges you face in philanthropy and will be your champion along the way, wanting to see you succeed.
Please note the changes to our scholarship structure beginning in 2022 in alignment with AFP Triangle’s 2017 Strategic Plan and Commitment to Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access (IDEA) as essential to effective fundraising. Our key goals for these scholarships are to remove barriers for:
- Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC)
- Fundraisers from small organizations
- Members who are deeply engaged in AFP’s work to support and improve the fundraising profession.
AFP Triangle now has two types of scholarships available.
- Chapter Membership Scholarships
- Multi-year Diversity Scholarships (two scholarships to be awarded) The Scholarship renews annually for up to three years. The Diversity Scholarship covers membership costs to AFP Triangle for all three years if the scholarship recipients agree to actively serve on a committee and attend AFP meetings for the duration of their scholarship period.
Scholarship Guidelines:
- Funds will be awarded as applications are received and reviewed by the Scholarship Chair. The names of scholarship recipients are not shared with the AFP Membership at-large unless permission is granted from the recipient to promote the Scholarship program.
- Scholarships will be awarded based on eligibility requirements and guidelines outlined on the application.
- Scholarship funds will be granted throughout the year until funds are depleted.
- AFP members may only receive one scholarship per calendar year.

As a brand new Annual Fund Manager, I have a steep learning curve ahead of me. The scholarship I am receiving from AFP is key to helping me navigate this exciting challenge by connecting me with my fellow fundraisers for peer-to-peer learning and allowing me to access high quality professional development. Thanks AFP Triangle!”
