Case Study: AFP St. Louis achieves streamlined event management and stronger member engagement with StarChapter

AFP St. Louis - Customer Case Study

AFP St. Louis, one of the country’s largest and most active Association of Fundraising Professionals chapters, works to strengthen local nonprofits and develop fundraising professionals. They faced the twin challenges of engaging and retaining new members on limited budgets and time, modernizing their web presence, and consolidating event registration and membership administration to better support outreach and programming.

By adopting StarChapter in 2017–2018, AFP St. Louis integrated events and registration with its membership database, refreshed website content, and rolled out low‑cost, high‑value programs like Coffee & Cocktail Conversations and expanded Fundraising 101/102 seminars. The platform has streamlined onboarding and event management, boosted member engagement and programming options, and set the stage for future improvements (email migration and a chapter blog) as the chapter continues to realize additional benefits.
