National Philanthropy Day


Nomination Period Open

Tell us a story of an extraordinary philanthropist, fundraiser, organization, or effort who deserves to be celebrated at the 2024 National Philanthropy Day, hosted by the Association of Fundraising Professionals Minnesota Chapter.

The nomination process is quick and easy!

We want to hear the story of your nominee and the impact they have had in Minnesota – from Minneapolis to Grand Marais and Rochester to Roseau. We want to celebrate stories of remarkable generosity and service across our state that represent the full diversity of Minnesota’s philanthropic spirit.

PLEASE SUBMIT NOMINATIONS BY FRIDAY, MAY 24

This year, nominees will be evaluated in a two-step process. A slate of finalists will be chosen from the pool of initial nominees and invited to share additional detail about their work.
