A Peer Community for Consulting Excellence

APC is an international professional association of philanthropic consultants working with nonprofit organizations.

Who We Are

Through the service and support of APC members, nonprofit organizations access professional counsel that is expert, ethical, and inclusive.

APC members feel very strongly that ALL nonprofit organizations should have access to professional and ethical consultants to help them meet their missions. We set high standards for membership and deliver education, experience, and counsel in order to promote best practice.

Qualified members demonstrate a commitment to philanthropic practice as donors, within charities, and as advocates for giving and volunteering.
