Student Philanthropy

The Office of Annual Giving student philanthropy efforts provide students a close-up look at the fundraising operation at Spelman College, along with the opportunity to be involved in marketing and campaigns aimed at raising awareness about the role philanthropy plays at our institution. Our mission is to provide a student perspective on giving back, promote awareness of the ways private gifts impact student life, and establish a legacy of philanthropy that enhances the future of Spelman College.

Get Involved

The Association of Fundraising Professionals Collegiate Chapter

The Office of Annual Giving in collaboration with the Atlanta Chapter of AFP established the first HBCU Association of Fundraising Professionals Collegiate Chapter at Spelman College in spring 2011. The AFP collegiate chapters allow students to identity a cause to support, learn and apply ethical fundraising principles, and support the cause in which they believe, giving them a solid base of understanding and welcoming them into philanthropic and fundraising communities.  The core activities to fulfill this mission include education, real life fundraising experience, mentoring and networking. 

If you are interested in philanthropy and want to be a part of this initiative, please contact the advisers, DeShanna Brown or Jennifer Moore at jmoore@spelman.edu or call 404-270-6410.

Student Giving Campaign

The Student Giving Campaign is a part of Spelman College’s Association of Fundraising Professionals Collegiate Chapter. As a student, you may choose to support a College program in which you have special interest - the sciences, wellness, study abroad, or scholarships. If not specified, your gift will help fund the President’s Safety Net.
