On Friday, November 21, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at the Gaylord Pacific Resort, San Diego’s 53rd Annual National Philanthropy Day celebration, organized by the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) San Diego Chapter, recognized the critical role philanthropy plays in our society and honor those who make the greatest difference in strengthening our community.
Now, more than ever, we know how important it is to stay connected to one another and celebrate local leaders who are stepping up in times of great challenge.
National Philanthropy Day (NPD) is not just an extraordinary gathering to honor outstanding individuals and organizations; it is an opportunity to celebrate and share the power and impact of philanthropy in San Diego. This year’s program, with PNC Bank as our Presenting Sponsor, will celebrate the people who contribute time, talent and treasure, and how they positively impact our lives.
