National Philanthropy Day
 National Philanthropy Day celebrates the individuals and organization who are changing the world with a giving heart. At the heart of AFP Charlotte's National Philanthropy Day event is the desire to uplift the different forms 'giving back' can take and recognize the critical role philanthropy plays in creating a more equitable Charlotte-Mecklenburg community for all. AFP Charlotte appreciates the community's help in nominating worthy honorees. Your voice is essential in telling our community's story and creating an event that truly reflects the entire Charlotte-Mecklenburg community. The AFP Charlotte Chapter remains committed to safeguarding the health of honorees, nominators, and those who wish to celebrate philanthropy in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg region. The 2021 NPD Luncheon will be a hybrid event with a small, in-person awards ceremony that will be livestreamed and broadcasted to our wider NPD audience, utilizing a virtual platform that still allows for networking and connection amongst virtual guests. Please join us on Thursday, November 18, 2021 from 11:45 am 1:00 pm. Information on sponsorships, tables, and tickets can be found here as well as registration links below.
