The Central Ohio Chapter of AFP is excited to be partnering with Otterbein University to launch our first collegiate chapter in Central Ohio.


Collegiate Chapter Core Purpose, Vision Statement and Mission Statement

Core Purpose
To expose undergraduate and graduate students to fundraising as a profession, the importance of philanthropy and the vital role of ethics in
professional practice.

Vision Statement
Involvement in an AFP collegiate chapter will instill in students the rewards of professional fundraising as a career path and motivate them
to pursue it as a career after graduation, as well as highlight the critical role philanthropy plays in our society.

Mission Statement
The AFP collegiate chapters allow students to identity a cause to support, learn and apply ethical fundraising principles, and support
the cause in which they believe, giving them a solid base of understanding and welcoming them into philanthropic and fundraising
communities. The core activities to fulfill this mission include education, real life fundraising experience, mentoring and networking.
