What is National Philanthropy Day....
National Philanthropy Day is a celebration of philanthropy - giving, volunteering, and charitable engagement - that highlights the accomplishments, large and small, that philanthropy, and all those involved in the philanthropic process, make to our society and our world.
National Philanthropy Day® is both an official day and a grassroots movement. Every year, since 1986 when President Ronald Reagan first proclaimed November 15th as National Philanthropy Day®, communities across the globe have celebrated by hosting events to recognize activities of donors, volunteers, foundations, leaders, corporations, and others engaged in philanthropy.
