| About |
National Philanthropy Day® (NPD) is a special day set
aside in November*. The purpose of this
day is to recognize the great contributions of
philanthropy -- and those people active in the
philanthropic community -- to the enrichment of our
world.
National Philanthropy Day® provides an opportunity to
reflect on the meaning of giving and all that it has
made possible. First held in 1986, NPD celebrates the
endless daily contributions individuals and
organizations across the world make to countless causes
and missions. Last year, more than 100 AFP chapters held
NPD events and activities across North America.
At our annual National Philanthropy Day celebration we
will honor local people and organizations for their
generous support and exemplary contributions to
nonprofit agencies throughout Monterey and Santa Cruz
counties. The 18th Annual Philanthropy Day Luncheon and awards presentation, a part of the nation-wide National Philanthropy Day celebration, will take place on Friday, November 13, 2010 at the Inn at Spanish Bay in Pebble Beach.
Through NPD, participants are able to show appreciation
for all that has been accomplished in the name of
giving, as well as show that there is still more to do.
It's our chance to step into the spotlight for a brief
moment and remind our communities, our society and the
world that the spirit of giving is alive and well.
National Philanthropy Day®, which is registered with the
Patent and Trademark Office, U.S. Department of
Commerce, is coordinated by the Association of
Fundraising Professionals. |

"In our society nonprofit
organizations fulfill several responsibilities:
providing public benefit; serving the underprivileged;
advancing education and sciences; and reducing the
burden of government. Called upon to operate with a
great degree of transparency and organizational
integrity, we insist that they focus on public good
rather than private gain.”

Development
Executives Network (DEN)
Founded 25 years ago, the mission of the Development
Executives Network is to provide useful, high quality
programs and training, build a sense of community among
local nonprofits, and provide members and guests with
the opportunity to network with each other. With a
membership of 70 organizations, the group meets monthly
on the third Friday of the month for lunch and a brief
program speaker. Each May DEN sponsors a free day long
workshop for members on a topic of interest, and each
December hosts a holiday luncheon for members to gather
and enjoy the company of their peers. Members
additionally receive a monthly e-newsletter with program
announcements, community training information, job
announcements and special articles of interest. Further
