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 keeps 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 in one installment.

How much are chapter dues?
