2025 NPD

2025 National Philanthropy Day Celebration 

On National Philanthropy Day (NPD), we celebrate the profound impact of fundraising and philanthropy in our community. Every November, we take the time to reflect on the meaning of giving and the spirit that makes such generosity possible. NPD 

National Philanthropy Day, celebrated across North America on November 15, recognizes the remarkable contributions of individuals and organizations who work selflessly to improve our communities through philanthropy and volunteerism. For over 20 years, our chapter has proudly honoured local changemakers across seven award categories.

This year’s celebration will take place on Friday, November 14th, 2025, at the Hotel Saskatchewan in Regina. Registration for the event will open in the fall.

We would like to invite you to nominate someone whose leadership, generosity, or partnership has made a significant impact. Nominations should be 250–500 words in length and clearly outline why the nominee deserves recognition.

Nomination Deadline: Monday, June 30th, 2025, at 5:00 p.m.
Note: A separate call for nominations for the remaining five categories will be announced later this summer.

Please review the criteria for each award and submit your nomination using the links below.
