National Philanthropy Day celebrates the great contributions that those who work in all aspects of philanthropic outreach make to our community. In fact, the Greater Dallas Chapter of AFP was among the first to begin celebrating National Philanthropy Day.

Our 2024 National Philanthropy Day Celebration will be Thursday, November 13, 2025 at the Dallas Arboretum & Botanical Garden, when we will present the Greater Dallas Chapter's NPD awards. Click here to learn more.
