Maurice Gurin Scholarship FundMaurice Gurin was a founding member of the Association of Fundraising Professionals. He left behind a lasting legacy of education and mentorship for new fundraisers, establishing an endowment that became the Maurice Gurin Scholarship at Fundraising Day New York. That first generous act has since paved the way for over 400 deserving fundraisers to learn and grow in their chosen profession. Keeping the Legacy Alive The Gurin Scholarship continues to flourish thanks to the generosity of our chapter leadership, members, and sponsors. We proudly welcome an average of 25 Gurin Scholars each year. Give Back: Support the Scholarship Fund Ready to pay it forward?

I appreciated the diversity of fundraisers and organizations presenting at Fundraising Day (now PhilanthroCon!), from small social justice organizations with expertise in engaging donors representative of the community they serve, to larger nonprofits engaging channels I had never really even considered, such as text messaging. Every person I heard from left me with great pearls of wisdom, and because of the virtual format, I was able to revisit impactful sessions at my leisure. Thanks to the scholarship, I was inspired to become an official member of AFP-NYC so that I could continue learning from the best and brightest fundraisers around.” – Principal Gifts Coordinator, Environmental Defense Fund |
