This time, we’re heading to Marked Tree Vineyard in Henderson County as part of our continued commitment to serving nonprofit professionals across all 18 counties of Western North Carolina. AFP WNC is intentionally broadening where and how we gather, and we are thrilled to host this summer networking event in a beautiful local vineyard setting.
Your ticket includes a glass of local wine, structured networking time, door prizes, and guided conversation around Hot Fundraising Topics facing nonprofit professionals right now.
What We’ll Talk About
We’ll make space for timely, practical conversations around topics such as:
- Fundraising and AI
- Fundraising during an election year
- AFP’s move from IDEA to FORGE
- Capital campaigns
- The economy and donor behavior
AFP Global describes FORGE as a values-driven framework designed to support shared language, clarity, and accountability across the profession.
Why Attend?
Crafted Conversations is one of AFP WNC’s most beloved networking formats because it creates room for real connection, peer learning, and practical takeaways. Whether you are new to fundraising, leading development strategy, working in a small shop, serving on a board, or simply looking for community with others who understand the work, this gathering is for you.
You’ll also hear more about the WNC cohort heading to the NC Philanthropy Conference in Charlotte this September, including ways to connect with other regional professionals attending.
Come raise a glass, meet colleagues across the region, and head into summer with fresh ideas, useful connections, and a few more tools in your fundraising toolbelt.
