National Philanthropy Day
REGISTRATION WILL OPEN SOON!
Each November, local chapters of the Association for Fundraising Professionals throughout the world set aside one special day to recognize the significant impact of volunteerism and philanthropy - National Philanthropy Day (NPD)!
Since 1987, the Association of Fundraising Professionals Rhode Island (AFP-RI) and more than 100 non-profit organizations have come together to honor the outstanding volunteer and philanthropic contributions of corporations, small businesses, individuals, and groups. Through philanthropy and volunteering, these individuals and organizations have made a real difference in the lives of the people of Rhode Island and southeastern New England.
During the National Philanthropy Day event, recognition is given to more than 50 Partners in Philanthropy by non-profit organizations who want to honor outstanding volunteers and donors.
In addition, we honor outstanding philanthropists in the following categories:
- Outstanding Philanthropic Citizen
- Outstanding Philanthropic Business
We accept nominations from non-profits and community members, as well as self-nominations.
CLICK HERE TO SUBMIT A NOMINATION
Self-nominations and nominations from prior years are welcomed and encouraged!
Questions? Please reach out to Erica Busillo Adams at erica.busillo@gmail.com.
