The AFP Genesee Valley Chapter is excited to offer Identity-Based Affinity Groups. Affinity groups provide safe spaces for fundraising professionals with shared identities to connect with each other, share resources, and provide each other support. These groups are only for people who identify with these identities. All of our affinity groups are open to both members and non-members.

Each group is led by volunteer facilitators with that specific identity. The facilitators organize group meetups, facilitate meetings, and answer questions about resources for the group. Below you will find a current list of the facilitators for each affinity group:

People with Disabilities (on hiatus)
 
Faith-Based Affinity Group (People who identify as a Person of Faith)
 
Latinx
 
LGBTQ+
 
Working Parents


*Interim facilitator - reach out below if you are interested in being the next facilitator!

AFPGV would like to share information on a local networking group of fundraisers: Rochester Advancement Professionals of Color. While this is not an AFPGV-led program, we are committed to amplifying community partners. We are sharing their information for any fundraisers who identify as People of Color and are interested in attending their events. To inquire about the group and join their email list, please contact organizers Mia Cannon and Darrell Bell.

All affinity group meetups can be found on the Upcoming Events and Programs page. 


If you have any questions about these affinity groups, please reach directly out to the facilitators for each group. For questions related to becoming a facilitator, creating a new group, or other overall topics, please reach out to Jonathan Meagher-Zayas.
