National Philanthropy Day

National Philanthropy Day is a special day to recognize and pay tribute to the meaningful contributions that philanthropy — and those active in our own philanthropic community — make to our lives, communities, and world. 

This year, APF-CNY will unite with chapters nationwide and globally on November 15th to commemorate National Philanthropy Day 2024. We will honor individuals, organizations, and businesses in Central New York who selflessly contribute their time, talents, and resources to enrich and benefit our communities. Join us in celebrating the generosity and leadership of our philanthropic community.
