About
First held in 1986, National Philanthropy Day (NPD) is a special time set aside to recognize the great contributions of philanthropy-and those people active in the philanthropic community-to the enrichment of our world. National Philanthropy Day is coordinated by the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP).
The Shenandoah Chapter has celebrated NPD since 1990. Through NPD, we are able to show appreciation for all that has been accomplished in the name of giving, as well as demonstrating that there is still more to do. It's our chance to remind the Valley, that the spirit of giving is alive and well.
