Don't forget to take advantage of AAFRE's Professional Development Assistance Grant.
AAFRE recognizes the financial limitations of fundraising organizations and works hard to help their members overcome obstacles to fund development education. To alleviate pressures, The Professional Development Assistance Grant was created to provide financial aid for members wishing to attend educational conferences or workshops for the purpose of improving their fundraising skills. Members that are approved for financial assistance must provide a written report within 30 days of completing the professional development program.
