Detroit Fundraiser Richard Martin Honored for Lifetime Service to the Profession
“Philanthropy is a means to connect people with causes they care about,” says Martin, a Sterling Heights resident. "I’ve been so honored to work in a vocation that serves everyone. My career journey is one of creating space for altruistic expression and diversity.”
Martin helped form the African-American Association of Fundraising Professionals (AAAFP), which provides support, education and mentoring for African-American fundraisers in the Greater Detroit area. During discussions with AFP on how to support AAAFP, he helped create the proposal that would become AFP’s Diverse Communities in Fundraising Program. The program has become AFP’s key diversity outreach initiative and a blueprint for its inclusion work around the world.
