2023 National Philanthropy Day

National Philanthropy Day (NPD) is a special day set aside to promote philanthropy and recognize individuals, organizations and businesses that are inspiring change through their significant impact on nonprofit organizations. Each day, generous benefactors and volunteers make a difference to people across a spectrum of nonprofit organizations from the arts to education to social services and everything in between. The National Philanthropy Day Program is our annual, signature event at which people representing businesses, nonprofits, philanthropists and volunteers come together to celebrate our vibrant philanthropic community. All nonprofit organizations have the opportunity to participate in our Friends of Philanthropy process by recognizing donors, volunteers and special friends who have made a truly exceptional impact.

What’s it like to be a sponsor?

“The Fifth Third Foundation is proud to announce our 11th year as presenting sponsor for the National Philanthropy Day hosted by the Association of Fundraising Professionals. Even though we’re not together in person this year, our virtual event continues to celebrate those we honor today, share the spirit of philanthropy, and inspire us to strive for a better community for all. During this past year, and particularly the last six months, the philanthropic community has risen to the multitude of challenges presented by the pandemic. We are so honored to join AFP in celebrating the shared impact of all organizations who are working so diligently every day to make communities in Cincinnati better places for all to live, work, and thrive.”

–Heidi Jark, Managing Director, Senior Vice President, Fifth Third Foundation

Friends of Philanthropy… Celebrating Our Supporters

As part of National Philanthropy Day (NPD), the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) invites nonprofit organizations to recognize and celebrate individuals: donors, volunteers and special friends who support and further their missions.

How to Select Friends of Philanthropy: During the NPD registration process, nonprofit organizations may submit the names of their Friends of Philanthropy – donors, volunteers and special friends. AFP requests that nonprofits submit only Friends of Philanthropy names of people that will be attending the in-person event. When guest names are sent, Friends of Philanthropy designations can be noted at that time.

If you need assistance in submitting guest names or designating which ones are Friends of Philanthropy, email us at Admin@AFPCincinnati.org.

For questions or more information, contact:
Spencer Mapes, NPD Chair, at smapes@cincinnatichamber.org
