National Philanthropy Day 2025

Friday, November 21 at The Woodlands Inn and Resort

Nomination deadline is Friday, July 25

​

The Northeastern Pennsylvania Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP NEPA) Annual National Philanthropy Day awards program recognizes outstanding achievements by individual, foundation and corporate philanthropists, fundraising volunteers and professional fundraisers. 

​

In professional fundraising, such individuals and organizations form a vital partnership with charities and the nonprofit sector to ensure that the needs of all citizens are met. It is right and proper, therefore, that AFP NEPA honors those who hold high ethical standards and best exemplify commitment and dedication toward helping society. These awards are given in recognition to those individuals and organizations whose life-time or long-term achievements have made a significant impact upon society.

 

Nominations for any award may be submitted by an individual AFP member, an AFP chapter or an outside individual or organization. 

 

All award nominations must be received by Friday, July 25, 2025, to Kelly Kostanesky at afpnortheasternpa@gmail.com. 

 

Please complete the nomination form on page 5 of this document and submit it with your other materials. Nominations must include a narrative that should be no more than two pages. The narrative should include who you are nominating and why, the significant accomplishments made related to the category, and what makes them stand out in the fundraising sector. 

 

Supporting documents are accepted, but should only enhance the narrative and not be used instead of the narrative to answer the criteria. Please limit supporting documents to a maximum of eight pages.
