“I am gratified and proud of our firm’s AAFRC re-credentialing,” said Kellogg Organization President and CEO, Peter M. Kellogg, “particularly at the positive comments our team has received from current and past clients. Our corporate philosophy of being in service to others – helping our clients fulfill their missions and expand their vision through philanthropic research, structuring, and implementation – makes us fortunate to be in a field as positive as this. The TKO team is united in its commitment to our business and our clients. We begin with solid values and an old-fashioned work ethic which means we put our clients’ interests first. When they succeed, we succeed. It’s a perfect partnership.”
AAFRC was founded in 1935 to promote the need for professional and ethical standards of practice and to influence the creation of laws governing philanthropy. It has been involved in many milestones of philanthropy – developing the widely accepted Standards of Professional Conduct; helping to fund the start-up of the United Way; working with the New York State Legislature to develop and enact the Charity Registration Act, the basis for a nationwide model; creating the AAFRC Trust for Philanthropy; and initiating GIVING USA, an annual publication that has become America’s most frequently quoted and widely circulated reference compilation of annual giving and philanthropic trends.
AAFRC membership currently consists of thirty-six fundraising
consultants and service companies that assist not-for-profit
organizations. Members are professionally and geographically
diverse, annually raising billions of dollars for and providing
invaluable types of counsel to philanthropic institutions. To become
a member of AAFRC, a firm must meet certain ethical standards in
addition to undergoing an extensive client review process. In
addition, once it has become a member of AAFRC, a member firm must
be re-credentialed every three years to maintain its membership in
good standing.
