ProgramThe Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access (IDEA) Committee is in charge of launching and organizing the IDEA Fellowship. The IDEA Fellowship is a year-long program for fundraisers from underrepresented communities, including fundraisers of color (African-American, Latinx, Hispanic, Asian), LGBTQ and/or gender nonconforming fundraisers, Indigenous, other underrepresented communities, and emerging fundraisers who work at smaller, under-resourced nonprofits. The program was created to recruit, retain, and mentor diverse nonprofit fundraisers from the Bay Area, with the intent to break down the barriers of entry to be a part of AFP Golden Gate. We also hope that this program encourages underrepresented professionals to feel empowered to become a part of our leadership team the following year.
The fellowship would provide participants with full access to all the benefits of AFP Golden Gate Chapter membership, including:
In addition to all of the training benefits, fellows would have opportunities to network, meet leaders in the fundraising and philanthropic sector, and participate in leadership opportunities, while they build fundraising capacity and increase mission impact. (Note: This will be conducted virtually or in person depending on different Bay Area county guidelines.) EligibilityThe IDEA Fellowship seeks to identify and engage voices that are not currently engaged in the broader nonprofit fundraising community. Individuals from underrepresented communities, including fundraisers of color (African-American, Latinx, Hispanic, Asian), LGBTQ and/or gender nonconforming fundraisers, Indigenous, other underrepresented communities, and emerging fundraisers who work at smaller, under-resourced nonprofits are encouraged to apply. You do not need to be a member of the Association of Fundraising Professionals organization to be eligible for this opportunity.Application Deadlines—Apply Now
