Advance Your Career With Scholarship Support
The Southeastern Wisconsin chapter’s commitment to education and training is supported by several scholarship opportunities. Applications are accepted throughout the year and are awarded by the Scholarship Committee. You must be a member of AFP Southeastern Wisconsin to be eligible for a conference or education scholarship.
Fundraising Day Wisconsin
Co-hosted by the four Wisconsin chapters of the Association of Fundraising Professionals, Fundraising Day Wisconsin is held each June in Madison.
This full-day conference is an excellent opportunity to learn from nationally known presenters and network with over 300 area development and nonprofit professionals. The event centers on the power of philanthropy, advocacy, and collaboration and encourages fundraisers to make a meaningful and lasting impact in our communities.
Three scholarships are available to cover registration. Two scholarships are open to current AFPSEWI members, and the third is awarded to a previous member of the Planned Giving Council.
Applications for FDW Scholarships are now closed.

Membership Scholarships
In partnership with AFP Global, AFPSEWI is excited to offer ten scholarships that cover one year of free AFP Global and chapter membership.
These awards are intended to serve fundraisers at any stage of their careers, including those new to the profession, first-time AFP members, current or lapsed chapter members for whom the cost of membership is a hardship or a barrier, and small nonprofit organizations.
Professional colleagues from all backgrounds including those that represent one or more IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Access) constituencies are invited to apply.
Scholarship recipients are asked to commit to active participation in chapter activities.
Applications are due October 31—apply here!
Please reach out to Amy Blumenthal, Scholarship Committee Chair, with any questions (ablumenthal@twbfundraising.com).
Scholarships are funded in part through member support of the AFP Foundation for Philanthropy’s BE the CAUSE campaign.
AFP ICON Scholarships
AFPSEWI’s Scholarship Committee will offer three substantial scholarship awards to chapter members to attend the AFP International Fundraising Conference (ICON) in San Diego from April 26-28, 2026.
Chamberlain Scholarship (1 available) – Covers the cost of conference registration (minus a $10 processing fee) plus $2,000 to use toward travel and lodging. For first-time ICON attendees only. Diversity and financial need are considered but not required.
AFPSEWI Chapter Scholarship (2 available) – Provides a total of $2,000 to be used toward conference registration, travel, and lodging. After paying the registration fee (at the Preview Rate), recipients will have approximately $1,000 to cover travel and lodging.
Scholarship amounts may not completely cover the cost of your conference experience, and recipients are responsible for any costs over the amount of their award.
