On behalf of the more than 200 fundraising professionals who are members of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) here in Central Florida, I want to welcome and invite you to join us in our mission of advancing philanthropy and helping to make Central Florida an even better place to live and raise a family.

The non-profit sector is a critical component of the Central Florida economy. You and your organization play an essential role in securing the quality of life we all enjoy.
