About this Event
Please join AFP Arkansas for the inaugural Festival of Philanthropy, combining the 42nd annual National Philanthropy Day (NPD) awards luncheon with an all-day professional development conference at Little Rock’s Robinson Center & DoubleTree Hotel on Thursday, Nov. 7, 2024.
Sponsorships and registrations support need-based scholarships, training for fundraising professionals, philanthropy education, and outreach in Arkansas. Contributions to AFP-Arkansas are tax-deductible.
Festival of Philanthropy recognizes Arkansas’s philanthropic spirit by highlighting individuals and organizations who have made a significant impact in our state and providing education on a wide array of topics that impact the daily work of non-profit employees around the state. The combined event will allow attendees to engage in a compelling combination of keynote speakers, presentations, and networking opportunities that move ideas forward and shine a light on those making a difference for Arkansans.
“We felt combining these events was a great opportunity to celebrate where philanthropy in Arkansas has been and where it’s going,” Laura Grimes, AFP-Arkansas’s VP of National Philanthropy Day said. “The spirit of giving in Arkansas is alive and well thanks to all the volunteers, fundraisers, and organizations who work together. The Festival of Philanthropy is a way we can come together to recognize those who have given their time, talents, and treasure, and learn how we can better serve our state.”
- The conference will be held at Little Rock’s Robinson Center. Doors open at 8 a.m.
- The National Philanthropy Day luncheon and awards ceremony will be held at the Little Rock DoubleTree Hotel in the Ballroom at 11:30 am.
National Philanthropy Day is an opportunity to honor fundraisers, volunteers, donors, and others in the philanthropic community who have made our lives, our communities, and our world a better place.
