Advance Your Career With Scholarship Support
The Southeastern Wisconsin chapter’s commitment to education and training is supported by several scholarship opportunities. Applications are accepted throughout the year and are awarded by the Scholarship Committee. You must be a member of AFP Southeastern Wisconsin to be eligible for a conference or education scholarship.
Fundraising Day Wisconsin
Co-hosted by the four Wisconsin chapters of the Association of Fundraising Professionals, Fundraising Day Wisconsin will be held on Tuesday, June 24, at American Family Insurance in Madison.
This full-day conference promises to be an excellent opportunity to learn from nationally known presenters and network with over 300 area development and nonprofit professionals.
The 2025 conference theme is "United for Impact," which centers on the power of philanthropy, advocacy, and collaboration and encourages us to unite our efforts to make a meaningful and lasting impact in our communities.
Three scholarships are available to cover registration for this year’s conference. Two scholarships are open to current AFPSEWI members, and the third will be awarded to a previous member of the Planned Giving Council.
Apply for a Fundraising Day Scholarship! Applications are due May 9, 2025.

Membership Scholarships
To advance our philanthropy profession and help grow chapter membership, we offer eight membership scholarships to qualified individuals to help members join and remain in AFP.
Scholarships cover one year of free AFP Global and chapter membership. These awards are intended to serve those new to the profession, young professionals, small nonprofit organizations, those who self-identify as diverse, and all fundraisers who want to connect with the resources and opportunities that AFP has to offer but for whom the cost of membership is a hardship or barrier.
Apply for a Membership Scholarship! Applications are due May 9, 2025.
Please reach out to Amy Blumenthal, Scholarship Committee Chair, with any questions (ablumenthal@twbfundraising.com).
Scholarships are funded in part through member support of the AFP Foundation for Philanthropy’s BE the CAUSE campaign.
