Each year, the Northeast Annual Giving Conference awards two or more conference (full registration fee waived) scholarships to selected fundraising professionals, with preference given to those new to the profession and/or those whose institutions have limited professional development budgets for staff learning. Our scholarships are awarded in memory of Andy Bernstein, a past president of the Northeast Annual Giving Conference who passed away in 2024, and Dominique Matteson, a valued NEAGC committee member who passed away in 2025.
The 2026 NEAGC Scholarship recipients are:

LeeAnn Petronsky
Director of Annual Fund & Alumni Engagement
Hilbert College

Michael Ampofo
Assistant Director of Annual Giving and Digital Fundraising
St. Joseph’s University, New York
