National Philanthropy Day (NPD) is a special day set aside each year to recognize and celebrate the many contributions that philanthropists, board members, volunteers, civic and corporate leaders, and nonprofit champions have made in our community. Now more than ever, we sing the praises of those who step up in times of insurmountable challenge. For the second year, NPD will be a fabulous virtual celebration. Join us on Friday, November 12, 2021 for a very special celebration of our 2021 honorees! This unique, virtual event will offer a special way to celebrate from afar with enhanced digital recognition of this year’s honorees. Time: 3:00PM Pre-Party There are several ways that you can be a part of this special day: See below for more information. Have a question that’s not answered here? Your 2021 NPD Co-Chairs are happy to connect with you! Reach out to Lana Baldwin at lbaldwin@pcoa.org or Elizabeth Slater at eslater@yoto.org.

The Awards are: Outstanding Philanthropist, Outstanding Volunteer Fundraiser, Outstanding Corporate or Corporate Foundation Philanthropist, Outstanding Foundation Philanthropist, Outstanding Fundraising Executive, Outstanding Youth in Philanthropy, and Crisis Response & Recovery in Philanthropy.
