Call for Nominations!
Join AFP Treasure Coast on Friday, November 13, at Willoughby Golf Club for our National Philanthropy Day Luncheon as we honor the individuals, businesses, volunteers, fundraisers, and community champions whose generosity strengthens our community each and every day.
Now is your opportunity to recognize someone who has made a meaningful impact. Think of the people who give their time, talents, resources, and hearts to lift others up. Their kindness often happens quietly, but its impact is felt for years to come.
Nominate someone who inspires you. Give them the gift of being recognized, celebrated, and sincerely thanked for the difference they make. Together, let's shine a light on the people who make our community—and our world—a better place, one mission and one act of generosity at a time.
Nominations are now being accepted through August 31, 2026
All nominees will be recognized and celebrated during the event when award recipients are announced. The nominee or a representative of the nominee is required to be present for the luncheon ceremony. Nominees are eligible to be re-nominated if that nominee has not been selected as an award recipient in the past five years (since 2021).
The Award Categories are: Luminary Award, Corporate Philanthropy Award, Small Biz, Big Heart Award, Legacy Award, Hidden Gem Award, Community Impact Award, Rising Star Award

'When the Ask Gets Heavy' Workshop on Sept. 17
Fundraising is meaningful work—but it can also be emotionally demanding. Donor expectations, organizational pressure, rejection, urgent financial needs, and the responsibility of representing a mission we care about can take a toll over time.
Join speaker Jason Owens for "When the Ask Gets Heavy" on September 17 for a workshop designed to help fundraising professionals recognize the emotional weight of the work and discover practical ways to stay grounded, resilient, and connected to purpose.
Through stories, reflection, and practical tools, you’ll leave with fresh perspective and strategies you can use to keep showing up with clarity and courage—without losing sight of your own capacity.
