Frequently asked questions about AFP
membership …
Does my membership
belong to me, or to the organization I work for?
The Association of Fundraising
Professionals is an individual membership organization. Organizations
cannot join; only individual fundraisers can become members.
Does my membership
stay with me if I switch organizations?
Yes. Because membership is assigned
to the individual, members keep their membership if they switch jobs.
How much does
membership cost?
When a member joins AFP, he or she
joins both the international organization and a local chapter
(exceptions exist if a chapter is not located close to the member).
Thus, a member pays annual dues to both the International Headquarters
and the chapter.
How much are the
dues to International Headquarters?
Your membership dues depend on the
type of membership applicable to you. Members must self-assess to
determine the type of membership for which they are eligible.
Prospective members should self-determine the category of membership,
and renewing members should review and reassess membership categories.
Four categories of membership are available: Active, Retired,
Introductory, and Affiliate.
How much are
chapter dues?
Chapter dues are $35.00. This amount
is included in your membership fee that you would send to the
International Headquarters.
How long does my membership last?
Your membership lasts 12 months,
starting in the month you officially become a member.
