“I am very pleased to report that with the help of the AFP Educational Grant that I received in October, I was able to pass the Certified Fund Raising Executive exam. This grant was instrumental in the process as it allowed me to take a 2-day review course in Fargo, North Dakota that I was otherwise unable to attend.” Jo-Anne Dalton Baxter Director of Philanthropy, The Convalescent Home of Winnipeg

“I would like to thank AFP Manitoba for providing me with the Susan Storey Scholarship grant. I was excited to attend the 2011 AFP Congress in Toronto and found it extremely beneficial in my development as a fundraising professional. The benefit of professional development cannot be underscored enough, as these types of learning experiences create enthusiasm, focus and self‐confidence as a professional fundraiser and I am most grateful for this opportunity.”

Kelly McArthur, Development Officer, Friends of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights

Funding for AFP Manitoba educational grants is made possible with the generous support from NPD sponsors and donors to the Every Member Campaign.
