about afp lead

Whether you're a rising fundraising leader or an experienced nonprofit executive, if you want to be a better leader, you don't want to miss AFP LEAD.

Attendees will engage in interactive sessions, including workshops on authentic leadership, effective communication, and creative problem-solving. The conference also emphasizes personal reflection, experiential learning, and active audience participation to ensure practical application of the material.

Plus, you’ll enjoy countless networking opportunities with hundreds of fellow nonprofit fundraising change-makers.

Key themes in 2024 include cultivating trust with donors, developing a leadership brand, managing transitions, and fostering inclusive and compassionate workplace cultures.

Want to learn more about the AFP LEAD experience?

AFP is aware that the dates of this year’s AFP LEAD event fall during the Jewish holiday of Sukkot. For those who are celebrating, there are resources available including an on-site prayer room and a listing of local synagogues. We apologize for any negative impact this has had on our community and while we can’t commit to avoiding all conflicts, we are looking at all future events, dates, and locations with IDEA top of mind.
