As an initiative of the Association of Fundraising Professionals, National Philanthropy Day is about honoring generosity in all its forms. We are proud to stand alongside donors and nonprofits alike as people gather to recognize excellence in their own communities today.

On November 11, we will celebrate Veterans Day in the US and Remembrance Day in Australia, Canada, and the UK. The words of American author, playwright, and producer Sidney Sheldon clearly depict the sentiment of why we observe the day. “My heroes are those who risk their lives every day to protect our world and make it a better place — police, firefighters, and members of our armed forces.” These words remind us how important it is to reflect on the service and sacrifice so many veterans have made for their countries.
