National Philanthropy Day

Thursday, November 6, 2025
12:00pm @ Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma
1304 N Kenosha Ave, Tulsa, OK 74106

Join us as we celebrate the heart of generosity and the people who make good happen! Our National Philanthropy Day Luncheon 2025 - Spark of Good: Finding Joy in Philanthropy, is a tribute to the changemakers; donors, volunteers, and nonprofit professionals, whose compassion lights the way for our communities!

In a world that often feels heavy, philanthropy reminds us of what’s possible when kindness leads. Each act of giving, each moment of service, creates a ripple that transforms lives and renews hope. Together, we’ll honor those sparks; the individuals and organizations whose joy in giving inspires others to do the same.

This year's event will feature a plated lunch, award presentations, and a fireside chat on the joy of philanthropy between 2025 award winner Pierce Norton (President & CEO, ONEOK) and Megan Quickle (President, AFP Eastern Oklahoma Chapter).

Registration is now closed for National Philanthropy Day. If you have any questions, please contact chapteradmin@afpeasternok.org.
