National Philanthropy Day (NPD) is a special day set aside each year to recognize and celebrate the many contributions that philanthropists, board members, volunteers, civic and corporate leaders, and nonprofit champions have made in our community.
Now more than ever, we sing the praises of those who step up in times of insurmountable challenge. Given the global circumstances as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, AFP is adapting in true, Southern Arizona form, with creativity and enthusiasm for our community.
On Friday, November 13, 2020, the Association of Fundraising Professionals will be leaping into the digital age and honoring the health and well-being of those we care for most by streaming a very special celebration of our 2020 honorees. This unique, virtual event will offer a special way to celebrate from afar with enhanced digital recognition of this year’s honorees.
Time: 3:00 PM Pre-Party | 3:30 PM Start – 4:30 PM Finish
