About National Philanthropy Day

Join us for the AFP St. Louis Chapter’s National Philanthropy Day Celebration, where we are proud to recognize the outstanding achievements by individuals, families, corporations, foundations, organizations, and other groups. These awards are given in recognition of lifetime or long-term achievements that have had a major impact in the St. Louis area.

At its root, the word “philanthropy” means love of humankind. Every day, people and organizations step up to do good in our communities. Often, this work goes unrecognized, even though it makes a vital difference. It is essential that we honor those who exemplify commitment, dedication, and talent toward helping society.

Therefore, AFP St. Louis is proud to recognize the outstanding achievements by individuals, families, organizations, foundations, corporations, and other groups. Each year, AFP awards are given in recognition of achievements that have had a major impact on a community, national and/or international level. These awards are given at our yearly National Philanthropy Day celebration, held each November.
