National Philanthropy Day

Each year, the Central New York Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP-CNY) recognizes outstanding achievements by individual, foundation and corporate philanthropists, fundraising volunteers and professional fundraisers.

Now more than ever, we commend those who have gone above and beyond during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Due to these uncertain times, this year’s National Philanthropy Day celebration will be neither a physical event or virtual event. Instead we will celebrate with a week of inspiration, featuring honorees who do so much to enhance philanthropic support in our community.

The AFP-CNY chapter invites you to nominate a deserving individual, group, corporation, organization or foundation for one or more of the following awards in response to the COVID-19 pandemic:

HOW TO SUBMIT A NOMINATION
Nominations may be submitted by any individual or organization. You may make more than one nomination in any category.
