AFP & Houston Business Journal Announce 2022 NPD Awards

We’re very excited to announce Linda Beeman, Founder of Aurora Grants & Consulting, will be honored with the 2022 M. Anne Murphy Award for Professional Advancement.

Here are a few words from Linda about this auspicious occasion:

Out of all possible awards, this one means the most to me. Not only has Anne Murphy been a friend and mentor since I joined the fundraising profession, but I personally know each of the prior recipients and have walked in their shadows as well. To be considered among them is truly an honor. Best of all, it's the first time that a GPC will be recognized with this award!

Our reputation rests upon our performance as a team. Each of our associates has helped define Aurora Grants and uphold our values. So, we’d like to congratulate the whole team on this success.
