Page 2 - The Future of Philanthropy

When today’s senior leaders retire,
the next generation of Chairs, CEOs and Executive Directors will have the knowledge and networks to build diversity and philanthropy into the very DNA of their organizations. It will be embedded into every functional unit. Over time this process will lead to a NEW STANDARD for the sector as a whole, as DIVERSE new leaders with STRONG KNOWLEDGE and connections move into SENIOR LEADERSHIP positions within the AFP volunteer structure, within their own organizations, and throughout the fundraising profession.

Our fellows will lead the fundraising profession to better reflect and respect the faces, contributions, experiences, and needs of the many communities that make up this remarkably diverse country.
These emerging leaders have already started collaborating and championing inclusion in their organizations and in AFP.
You will meet some of them through the pages of this report.
Keep watching these fellows.You’ll see a prime source of the strength and sustainability our profession needs.
