NATIONAL PHILANTHROPY DAY:  2024 • 11 • 14

AFP Saskatoon Chapter is delighted to share that this year's National Philanthropy Day luncheon will be held on Thursday, November 14th, 2024 at Prairieland Park. 

Each year, hundreds of communities across North America come together to recognize the countless ways philanthropy has made a difference.  AFP Saskatoon Chapter is excited to recognize and celebrate the many individuals and organizations that strengthen our community through their acts of generosity. Charitable organizations are invited to recognize their supporters with one nomination in each category: Honoured Supporter Award and Youth in Philanthropy Award, and their dedicated fundraising staff through the Chamberlain Scholarship.
