The California Valley Chapter is currently offering membership scholarships to local fundraisers and/or executive directors currently working for a non-profit organization experiencing budget constraints that would benefit from membership in AFP. Two scholarships are available each calendar year.

Deadline: Friday, October 12, 2007
Applications will be accepted for consideration in October and will be reviewed at the following chapter board meeting. Additional applications will be considered throughout the year based on available funds.

Benefits
