As part of the Central Ohio AFP Chapter's mission, each year we offer scholarships to qualified members to advance their knowledge and expertise in the field of development. Exciting scholarship opportunities have included local educational summits, the National Philanthropy Day celebration, and the International AFP Conference. Each year we seek to provide chapter members with those opportunities that best meet their needs.

We know the financial challenges of the last year have impacted professional development budgets in the nonprofit sector. As a result, we are excited to announce that the Central Ohio AFP Chapter will be offering -- for the first time -- five (5) scholarships in support of annual membership dues. Those selected to receive these scholarships will receive an award of $150 toward the $305 annual fee. The deadline for the first round of membership scholarships is July 31, 2010.

Also, on June 24-25, our Chapter will be presenting -- again, for the first time! -- the latest educational course from AFP, Fundamentals of Fundraising. Designed by an international team of development experts, Fundamentals of Fundraising will offer participants a complete overview of the development function, including current methodologies and techniques. This 2-day course will be taught by a diverse CFRE faculty and is designed for individuals with zero to four years experience. Five (5) full scholarships of $395 will be awarded; the deadline to take advantage of this invaluable educational opportunity is May 21, 2010.

For details on how to apply, please go to the Scholarship page of the chapter web site at www.centralohioafp.org.

Many thanks to Scholarship Chair Kelly Godshall, Membership VP Adam Burk, CFRE and Fundamentals of Fundraising Chair Susan Black, CFRE and their respective committees for their efforts to plan and implement these new initiatives. On behalf of the Chapter Board of Directors, we are delighted to invest in the continued professionalism and advancement of our members. We look forward to receiving applications!
