CapDev celebrates all those who share their time, talents, and resources with the many organizations and institutions who comprise our social sector – doing good to make our world a better place.
This month Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) chapters around the country recognize and honor giving in our “National Philanthropy Day” (NPD) events. We are honored to join in sponsoring and attending three AFP chapters’ celebrations this year (Cape Fear, Triangle, and Triad, NC).
