New Faces of Fundraising

New Faces of Fundraising is designed to introduce IDEA participants to the field of non-profit fundraising. The program was created by the Greater Cincinnati Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals and is funded by The Greater Cincinnati Foundation (GCF).

Due to the ongoing challenges of the pandemic, we are postponing the 2021 Class for New Faces of Fundraising. This decision has been made in the interest of both participants and internship sites. We will be using this year to evaluate and improve the program to be more effective in serving our participants and community. We not only aim to provide a rewarding professional development experience for our participants, but also a rewarding internship opportunity for local non profits that are looking for amazing new talent to collaborate on a philanthropy project/goal.

We are so appreciative of your interest and support in New Faces of Fundraising. Check back soon for a timeline about the 2022 New Faces of Fundraising Class.

New Faces participants are newly minted members of AFP and are benefiting from the guidance of a mentor from the field. The capstone of their New Faces experience will be a 200-hour paid summer internship funded by GCF.

Internship placements will be made through a competitive application and pairing process. We want these participants to gain meaningful, hands-on fundraising experience at a local non-profit. Pairings will be made based on the proposed internship experience, the non-profit’s need for development support, the student’s philanthropic interests as well as time and scheduling considerations.

If your organization is selected to host an intern, you and the participant will agree upon a work schedule and an evaluation procedure before the internship placement is confirmed.

Applications for the 2022 program are CLOSED.
