Each year, the Central Florida Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) honors donors, volunteers and professionals whose gifts of time, expertise and resources contribute significantly to the quality of life in our communities. This year’s 23rd Annual National Philanthropy Day Awards will take place on Thursday, November 6 at the prestigious Ritz-Carlton Orlando Grande Lakes. This event is an opportunity to publicly acknowledge and express appreciation for outstanding individuals, corporations and fundraising professionals in our community.

National Philanthropy Day acknowledges the entire spectrum of services that the nonprofit and civic and service sectors provide, as well as the profound impact that philanthropy has on the fabric of society. This annual event is also a fundraiser for the Central Florida Chapter of the AFP to provide scholarships and educational opportunities to further individual members’ professional development.
