☕🌎 HAPPY NATIONAL COFFEE DAY, FUNdraisers! 💚💙

Because behind every successful fundraising campaign there is probably…

☕ A cup of coffee.
💡 A BIG idea.
❤️ A cause worth believing in.
🤝 A whole lot of relationship building.
☕ …and then another cup of coffee.

Today, AFP Florida and Planet Philanthropy raise our mugs to the FUNdraisers across Florida who turn caffeine into conversations, conversations into relationships, and relationships into IMPACT! 🙌

After all, great FUNdraising and great coffee have a few things in common: both bring people together, both are better when shared, and both can fuel some pretty amazing ideas. ☕✨

So, Florida FUNdraisers, we need to know…

👇 What’s fueling your fundraising today?

☕ Coffee
🧊 Iced coffee
🥤 Diet Coke (we know you’re out there 😂)
⚡ Pure adrenaline
🙏 Faith & determination
😴 Absolutely no idea how I’m still functioning

Drop your answer - and your favorite coffee order - in the comments! 👇

And start making plans to join your fellow Florida FUNdraisers at Planet Philanthropy 2027! 🌴

📅 June 14–16, 2027
📍 Naples Grande Beach Resort | Naples, Florida

Fueled by purpose. Powered by people. Occasionally powered by coffee. ☕💚

✨ WHAT WOULD DOLLY DO? She’d GIVE BACK! ✨

Today, September 25, is Give Like Dolly Day - a day inspired by Dolly Parton’s extraordinary legacy of generosity and her belief in helping others dream BIG. 💖📚

And that got us thinking…

Florida FUNdraisers, what can we learn from Dolly? 🤔

A LOT.

Dolly didn't just support a cause. She connected her story, her values, and her heart to something she cared deeply about - childhood literacy - and invited millions of others to become part of it.

💡 There might be a fundraising lesson in there for all of us.

Could YOUR organization create its own special giving day?

✨ Tie it to your mission.
❤️ Make it personal.
📖 Tell a great story.
🙌 Give your supporters something to rally around.
📣 Make it FUN, memorable and easy to share.
💚 And invite people to be part of something bigger than themselves.

Maybe it's an anniversary. A founder's birthday. A mission milestone. A day connected to your cause. Or maybe you create something completely new!

Great fundraising isn't simply asking for a gift. It's giving people a reason to care, connect, and participate.

That's exactly the kind of idea we love talking about at AFP Florida — and the kind of inspiration you'll find when Florida's FUNdraisers come together at Planet Philanthropy 2027! 🌴

📅 June 14–16, 2027
📍 Naples Grande Beach Resort | Naples, Florida

Now we want to hear from YOU:
