Honorees recognized for their contributions to North Florida
Thanks to the continuous efforts of individuals, corporations, foundations and fundraising professionals in our community, their gifts of time, expertise and resources contribute significantly to the quality of life on the First Coast.
Each year, the Florida First Coast Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) honors those donors, volunteers, foundations, corporations and professionals at the National Philanthropy Day Awards Luncheon, this year held November 18th at the Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront.
Across this great nation, the day has been traditionally celebrated since 1986, when President Ronald Reagan dedicated the 15th of November, as the official day to acknowledge those engaged in philanthropy.
National Philanthropy Day acknowledges the entire spectrum of services that the nonprofit, civic and service sectors provide, as well as the profound impact that philanthropy has on the fabric of society. Each year, the luncheon and associated programming recognizes and acknowledges the 2016 National Philanthropy award winners in our community.
