Philanthropy Summit 2025
AFP WNC is excited to announce the 2025 Philanthropy Summit, which includes the return of our annual National Philanthropy Day Celebration followed by a half-day professional development conference formerly known as Philanthropy Institute.
The day begins with an elegant breakfast and National Philanthropy Day Awards Ceremony honoring the visionaries, changemakers, and champions of giving in our region. We’ll celebrate those who give, those who raise funds, and those who put resources to work for the greater good—including the presentation of the prestigious Summit Award to a lifelong leader in fundraising and community impact.
Following the Awards Ceremony, the program transforms into a conference-style Philanthropy Institute, complete with a networking lunch, skill-building workshops, and inspiring sessions for fundraisers and community leaders. Attendees will hear a fundraising-focused keynote, dive into practical breakout sessions, and end the day with a dynamic panel of local foundations and funders offering their perspectives on giving in WNC.
Early Bird Registration is open now through October 6—don’t miss your chance to save and secure your seat.
