National Philanthropy Day Awards Event 2025

The purpose of National Philanthropy Day is to recognize the great contributions of philanthropy and those people active in the philanthropic community to the enrichment of our world.

NPD was originally conceived and organized by Douglas Freeman in the 1980s, and the first official events were held in 1986 after President Reagan signed the official NPD proclamation. The day provides an opportunity to reflect on the meaning of giving and all that it has made possible. NPD celebrates the endless daily contributions individuals and organizations across the world make to countless causes and missions.

This year, National Philanthropy Day will be celebrated on Thursday, November 20, 2025 at the Museum of Commerce - UWF Historic Pensacola.

Doors open at 5:00 pm and the program will begin at 5:30 pm!

National Philanthropy Day is designed to celebrate and highlight the accomplishments of giving, volunteering and charitable engagement within our community.
