In November, the Association of Fundraising Professionals Greater Arizona Chapter will host its 41st Annual National Philanthropy Day (NPD) Awards Luncheon - a special day set aside each year to recognize and celebrate the many contributions and impact that philanthropists make in our lives, our community, and our world. Seven leadership awards will be presented to individuals and organizations in celebration of their philanthropic contributions.

The Spirit of Philanthropy Award

 The Spirit of Philanthropy Award recognizes individuals or organizations who exemplifies the spirit of giving through their contributions of time, talent, and treasure.

We celebrate those who represent and make a difference in diverse communities,
and showcase the power of philanthropy to change lives.

Recognize them in a big way!
