The
AFP Fundraising Resource Center has been experimenting with some relatively new technology called
blogging. (see definition)
The Center will be sharing with members some of the material that it distributes to staff, as well as information that it finds when researching members requests.
Our list of blogs continues to grow. To access the topical blogs use the links to the right.
Some examples include mentions of AFP (both International Headquarters and chapters) in the media, topical news such as the Southeast Asia news on
Tsunami Relief efforts ( which became it’s own blog) or general news of the profession which is posted on
Recent News of Note. Stories and data on coverage of
National Philanthropy Day have also been collected. Another section is
Legislation, Government Relations and Related Stories. Some
Press Releases are also posted.
Please note that a variety of newspapers require registration before you can view an article. In addition some newspapers only provide free access for a limited time.
The Washington Post is an example.
You can read more about the debut of this blog on the
