AFP Manitoba
The Profound Impact of Philanthropy in Manitoba
AFP Manitoba is a change agent in the community, and they represent the individuals and the organizations that are helping to marshal that change. Manitoba is currently the most successful philanthropic province in terms of per capita donations. Those donations, campaigns and initiatives are changing lives every day. AFP Manitoba supports the work of fundraisers by helping people support their communities; members/clients solve problems; speaking on behalf of fundraisers and fundraising organizations; developing research and education tools that further the work of our members; maintaining a specific Code of Ethics and Standards for the industry, as well as a Donor Bill of Rights; Providing programs and services that help enhance fundraising careers and assist professionals in furthering their careers.
As fundraising professionals, the association’s members join together to promote thoughtful and effective philanthropy in the province, particularly with connecting to the National Philanthropy Day by presenting the Manitoba Philanthropy Awards. The wonderful stories of winning recipients allows them to share the power of philanthropy to the community and to recognize them for their time, commitment and passion for their cause.
This year’s awards are scheduled for November 13, 2020 at the RBC Convention Centre, Winnipeg (or by virtual means if necessary).
