Thank you to our Presenting Sponsor – Global Philanthropic Canada; and our Lunch Sponsor – Pear Tree Financial AFP COMPASS 2025 is designed to build a sense of community for not-for profit organizations involved in Fund development, Communications, Government Relations, Boards, Management and Leadership. This is achieved by providing leading-edge education sessions led by subject-matter experts and offering ample opportunities to network and engage one-on-one. As a result, participants will return to their respective organizations and communities feeling inspired and equipped with new knowledge and strategies. Sponsors contribute to this goal by interacting with, and showcasing products and services of benefit to these organizations in carrying out their missions while gaining exposure, connections and business leads. We expect participants from across Canada to participate, representing not-for-profit organizations involved in all areas of the sector. The participants are key decision-makers, including both executives as well as seasoned and newer professionals. Attendees represent the full spectrum of the sector including social services, animal welfare, educational institutions, health care, recovery centres, camps, seniors care homes, homeless shelters, food banks, and more. Sponsors will have a unique opportunity to build their brand awareness at AFP COMPASS, develop new business leads, and demonstrate their commitment to the community. Section 8 of this Sponsorship Package outlines the Sponsorship Levels and Recognition. AFP COMPASS 2025 theme: Buckle UP, Dive In and be Inspired. |
