Every year the National Scholarship program receives more than 100 applications from fundraising professionals seeking more than $80,000 in financial aid. However, we can only meet a small portion of this need – less than 25%!

But you can help. Through a gift to the AFP Foundation for Philanthropy – Canada's National Scholarship Program, you are removing financial barriers and broadening access to professional development for all fundraisers.

As our profession grows, the Foundation is committed to ensuring fundraisers are equipped with the skills and knowledge they need to raise funds effectively and ethically for charitable causes across the country and around the world. Please make your gift to the National Scholarship Program today!
