I had an amazing opportunity yesterday to watch as a bit of history was made.
I spoke briefly about AFP (Association of Fundraising Professionals) to set the stage for a brainstorming session for the Russian fundraisers. They are really excited about creating a professional association of their own and it was amazing to watch them. Fundraising is still so new and so young here that there aren’t many resources for them. The NGO School gave out a fundraising book written in and for Russians. (I have a copy that I’m sure I will treasure!). It’s wonderful to see that they want to get than association going right away to provide support and education to its members. They want to create ethical standards and expand philanthropy in the culture.
Awesome, huh?
