National Philanthropy Day is set aside to promote philanthropy and recognize individuals, organizations and businesses inspiring change through their significant impact on nonprofit organizations. The annual program is AFP’s signature event. Movers & Makers is proud to serve as media sponsor.
This year, instead of a luncheon, AFP will hold an evening reception. This new format aims to allow greater opportunities for conversation, networking and re-connecting.
