Servants for Hope
As both the Founder and President of a grassroots organization, it has been my duty to fundraise for every activity. I assess the needs of the community, see how the organization can be impactful, and build from there.
For every big event (Back to school, Thanksgiving and Christmas) I set the donation goal months ahead of the event and start outreach to friends, family and community partners. The importance of these events increases each year as our organization becomes more evident and impactful within the communities we serve.
Throughout the year we do smaller projects that require less fundraising. After fundraising is complete for each project, I move on to packaging, sourcing, and planning the actual event.

Learning from My Experience, Reflections of A Mentor
By Randi Frank, CFRE
I still think of my own AFP mentor from 25 years ago. I was new to the Midwest and to AFP – then called the National Society of Fund Raising Executives – and I jumped at the chance to have an experienced fundraiser to learn from, share ideas with, and validate my gut instincts as I grew as a fundraising professional.
Since then, with 19 protégés over the last 20 years, I’ve been told I’m currently the longest serving mentor in AFP Chicago’s Peer Mentoring Program. Mentoring is one of the favorite things I do. The best way to remember your own best practices is to share them with a protégé, and in the process there is an exchange from which we both learn.
Over the years I’ve noticed common themes in my monthly conversations with protégés. As they are typically in the early years of their fundraising careers, protégés want to make the most of their current employment while contemplating their next career challenges. Together we strategize their path to their future goals.
AFP Chicago’s Peer Mentoring Committee will accept applications for the Fall class of protégés and mentors through September 16. Please visit the Peer Mentoring page for more information about the program and application.
Randi Frank, CFRE, has been a fundraiser for 35 years. After retiring as a full-time Director of Development in 2020, she has remained in the field as a grants consultant and fundraising coach.
