Each November the Washington Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) joins national and international colleagues to celebrate individuals and organizations that have dedicated themselves to philanthropy.
We host one of the oldest and largest National Philanthropy Day celebrations in the country, with over 1,200 attendees.
This year marks our 20th celebration of National Philanthropy Day on Thursday, November 20, 2008, at the Sheraton Seattle Hotel.
Community leaders, non-profit organizations, volunteers, and donors will gather to honor outstanding philanthropic leaders, who have invested their passion, time, talents, and financial support to better their community.
This is also a chance for non-profit organizations to inspire their own key volunteers and donors. Year after year, attendees have commented that they feel invigorated by the stories they hear. We encourage you to honor your volunteers and donors by hosting them at the luncheon. Your mission is sure to benefit from their renewed energy and passion. You can extend a “special thanks” by presenting a STARS leaf pin.
