that transformed my professional life.
AFP has given me the confidence for fundraising—to tell my story and distinguish the organization and garner support.A lot of the success of our organization can be attributed
to this fellowship.

The projects the fellows are doing are fantastic.
These projects have the potential to increase understanding and shape careers.
There’s nothing better than knowing your purpose, having the ability to pursue it and being supported to achieve it. I think the fellows will look back and clearly see the impact of the fellowship program.
