National Philanthropy Day recognizes the profound impact philanthropy has on the
fabric of society. It is the compassion and selflessness of local heroes that the Association
of Fundraising Professionals is proud to recognize through National Philanthropy Day.
The program honors individuals, corporations, foundations, civic and service groups,
and nonprofit organizations in Central Florida whose efforts change the face of our
community.
More than 150 fundraising professionals are members of AFP Central Florida Chapter
and work together to advance philanthropy by helping people and organizations
practice effective and ethical fundraising.
