The Association of Fundraising Professionals also offers a certification program for people and organizations who desire to be professional fundraisers. This association also seeks to educate communities and get the public involved in philanthropic activities.
If you're seeking to become a professional fundraiser or start a nonprofit organization, then you need the services of the American Association of Fundraising Professionals on your side. The AFP holds seminars and courses related to fundraising at various chapters around the globe.

There are different types of memberships available, and how much your dues will be will depend on several factors such as your chapter location and the type of membership you choose. You can expect dues to cost anywhere from $25 to $125.
