National Philanthropy Day

Join us in celebrating National Philanthropy Day, recognized worldwide as a celebration of philanthropy and those who give. In Edmonton, an annual non-competitive awards reception and celebration is held to acknowledge and honour the outstanding achievements of individuals, foundations, corporations, fundraising volunteers and nonprofit organizations who contribute their time, talents, financial support and other resources to our community and beyond.

Every year, the National Philanthropy Day luncheon allows local charities to share incredible stories about how so many Edmontonians and Northern Albertans make a difference through charitable giving. During the event, each award recipient is presented with an award, and a featured story is chosen to represent the incredible diversity and depth of giving we gather to celebrate.
