AFP Compass is about more than simply staying afloat amid uncertain times. It’s about taking action, learning from one another and discovering the strategies we need to thrive in these changing times.
Fundraising is becoming more complex, multifaceted, and data-driven.
Smart non-profits of all sizes are building their expertise and making use of the new digital and social tools to build causes and support. It’s worth the investment to give you and your staff professional training and education.
The fundraising world is changing. Don’t be left behind. It’s time to invest in new strategies and skill sets.
Whatever your stage of career – whether you’re a seasoned fundraising professional or brand new to the field – you’ll want to be part of the conversation that impacts your organization, donors and community.
“My first introduction to AFP Calgary was through Banff Compass. I was blown away by the level of professionalism and learning that I received through that event.“
