PurposeThe purpose of the AFP Foundation for Philanthropy is to generate the resources to fund AFP strategic initiatives that advance ethical and effective fundraising.

Every Member Campaign (EMC)

• The EMC is the largest component of the Foundation’s annual fund.

• The 2010 EMC raised over $470,000

• One of the goals of the EMC is to make sure every member is asked to make a gift to the campaign.

• Each chapter in the United States has an annual EMC goal based on the previous year’s giving.


Why It Makes Sense To Give
