Why Support National Philanthropy Day?

Each year the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) honors individuals, groups, organizations and businesses that, through their hard work and dedication, have enhanced philanthropy. The only way it is possible for AFP to honor such individuals, groups, organizations and businesses is via our sponsors. Their generosity makes it possible for us to honor those who make our community a better place. 

This year we are delighted to have the following Sponsors:
