The AFP Distinguished Fellows program, and Honorary Fellows program (for those who are not members of AFP), was developed by AFP’s Senior Leaders Engagement Taskforce chaired by chaired by Michael Delzotti, CFRE. The program spotlights individuals who have made significant leadership contributions to the philanthropic and fundraising professions, and who will continue to advance AFP’s mission and vision through their volunteer and advisory work.

For the Honorary Fellow, a minimum of fifteen years in nonprofit leadership is required. Nominations are required to address professional recognition, employment history, publications and speaking history, AFP memberships, honor and activity, and a concise description of why he or she should be selected a Fellow.
