End-of-Year Giving is here! As we close out the year, NFBPA is asking for your support to sustain and grow the programs that develop the next generation of public sector leaders.

We’re sharing inspiring stories from Mentors and Executive Leadership Institute alumni whose careers and leadership journeys were strengthened through NFBPA. These stories highlight the impact of our programs and the importance of continued support.

Your gift will directly support:

  • Scholarships for students and members to attend Forum 2026
  • The Mentor Program that builds lasting professional connections
  • The Executive Leadership Institute that strengthens leadership capacity
  • Awards and initiatives that recognize excellence in public service

Our year-end goal is to raise $20,000 to expand mentoring, executive development, and scholarship opportunities.

Every contribution — no matter the size — helps expand access to leadership opportunities and strengthens the pipeline NFBPA is known for.
