Philanthropy Professionals Rising Affinity Group

The Philanthropy Professionals Rising Affinity Group was formed after two employees from the Piper Charitable Trust approached AGF about the creation of group that could benefit those who recently joined the philanthropic field.

This affinity group is primarily geared toward AGF members under the age of 40 and/or with 3 or fewer years of experience in the field of philanthropy. We also encourage the participation of young persons of financial wealth with an interest in philanthropy along with those in the line of succession of family foundations. The criteria, however, is flexible as to not discourage the involvement of members who feel they could benefit from the networking and professional development opportunities provided to this group.

The Philanthropy Professionals Rising Affinity Group programs are open to AGF members at no charge.
