National Philanthropy Day Celebrated Across the Globe
National Philanthropy Day® is an official day. Every year, since 1986 when President Ronald Reagan first
proclaimed November 15th as National Philanthropy Day®, communities across the globe have celebrated
by hosting events to recognize activities of donors, volunteers, foundations, leaders, corporations, and
others engaged in philanthropy.
National Philanthropy Day (NPD) is a celebration of philanthropy—giving, volunteering and charitable
engagement—that highlights the accomplishments, large and small, that philanthropy—and all those
involved in the philanthropic process—makes to our society and to our communities.
Philanthropy is “the love of humankind,” and National Philanthropy Day® is the day that thousands of
people join together to both (1) put that word into action and (2) recognize the change that word has
brought to our communities.
To learn how you can join the movement and participate in philanthropy, please contact Kim
Rhinehelder, President, Eskaton Foundation at 916/334-0810 or visit us on line at eskaton.org/donations
