National Philanthropy Day Committee
National Philanthropy Day is an annual international day of recognition that celebrates the individuals and organizations that enrich our community and world through philanthropy. We hold an annual luncheon in November to honor philanthropic leaders in the North Bay. This is a great way to get involved in a fun project at the ground floor and help shape its vision. This event planning committee is also a good way to network for development professionals who want to be part of a premiere event. Send us an email with your area of interest, and experience, from soliciting and securing sponsorships, to finalizing the invitation list and executing event arrangements.
