National Philanthropy Day 2026 | Presented by AFP Orange County

Orange County’s nonprofit community takes the stage on November 12.

For over 40 years, National Philanthropy Day has celebrated the people who make this region better. This year, we’re expanding the stage to celebrate the programs, partnerships, and people behind the impact. Real stories from across Orange County, told live at Soka’s Performing Arts Center. 

WHY THIS MATTERS

There is no shortage of remarkable stories happening across our region. There is a shortage of stages to celebrate them.

National Philanthropy Day 2026 is that stage. This year, we’re expanding recognition beyond the individual to celebrate the collective — every program, every partnership, and every person whose work deserves to be seen.

This is your moment.

Come celebrate the work. Bring your team.
