Courtesy Membership

2026 Courtesy Membership Information

In 2020, Apra Pennsylvania restructured the Chapter's membership model in response to the economic downturn and job losses resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The board decreased membership costs by 30 percent from the rates before 2020. In 2025, we voted to keep these rates low and to expand access to what had been a small number of Membership Scholarships.

The board recently reviewed its policies and decided to continue offering zero-cost memberships as a courtesy to prospect development professionals experiencing financial hardship or who do not have access to professional development budgets. We are proud of our community and committed to ensuring it thrives.

Apra PA hopes this restructuring will alleviate economic burdens as well as create opportunities to promote diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusion of underrepresented professionals and organizations in our state chapter and the prospect development field. The Chapter intends to continue providing resources to help new and small nonprofits navigate free and low-cost options for prospect development and opportunities to increase knowledge through programming.

This courtesy membership is only available for applicants who reside in, or work for, organizations in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. 

Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis and applicants are reviewed monthly.
