Membership
Most area fundraising professionals who join AFP Global fall in the “Professional” membership category. The current cost for this membership is $290 + $40 in local membership dues.
There are multiple other categories for membership for young professionals and the size of your organization. You’re encouraged to explore Individual Membership Categories to find the best fit for you and your organization.
-
I just want to pay the $40 local membership dues, and not be an AFP Global Member, how do I do that?Unfortunately, that isn’t an option. There’s no way to only join the local chapter.
-
What do my $40 local dues pay for?o $10 meal cost o $10 website maintenance o $10 National Philanthropy Day o $10 Scholarships
-
My organization has multiple people who should be members of AFP but we don’t have the budget to pay for this. What should I do?We recommend you have one employee who is a paid member of AFP Global. This way your team can access valuable training, data, and other resources through the AFP Global membership. The other team members are still welcome to attend the monthly luncheons hosted by the Ozarks Region Chapter to gain local benefits.
-
Is it ok if I only attend the local meetings for networking and training, but I’m not a member of AFP Global.Absolutely! We see our monthly training courses as value driven and an incredible resource of knowledge from our peers. Anyone is welcome to attend the monthly meetings. AFP Global members do receive a $5 discount on the meeting cost.
