National Philanthropy Day

National Philanthropy Day

National Philanthropy Day (NPD) offers a meaningful opportunity to recognize individuals and organizations in our community who exemplify outstanding leadership in philanthropy and volunteerism throughout Broward County. As fundraisers and as a community united by a shared commitment to doing good, we come together each November to celebrate the spirit of giving. The National Philanthropy Day luncheon and awards ceremony honors local champions for their unique contributions and unwavering dedication to advancing nonprofit causes.
