The first official events of National Philanthropy Day (NPD) were held in 1986. Since then, November 15 has been set aside to recognize philanthropic contributions in our communities and to reflect on the meaning of giving. Last year, more than 130 chapters of American Fundraising Professionals (AFP) held NPD events and activities. AFP has also launched a campaign to engage the charitable sector globally. AFP Eastern Iowa Chapter will have a luncheon and awards ceremony on November 13. See our Events calendar for other AFP events in Iowa.
Family Volunteer Day is November 23. It’s a chance to shape the future of volunteering, introduce families to the vital work that nonprofits do, and to inspire the next generation of volunteers. Fostering relationships with families helps close the gaps in volunteer recruitment and assists organizations in providing the services their communities need. Founded by Points of Light in 1990, Family Volunteer Day encourages persons to work together for the betterment of their communities.
“One of the frequent requests we receive at our Center is data on nonprofit salaries and benefits,” said LAWINRC director Paul Thelen. “In collaboration with the Iowa Nonprofit Alliance, we are excited to offer our first statewide Salary & Benefits Survey Report for 2024. It includes responses from over 300 nonprofit entities in Iowa. In addition, we partnered with the Nonprofit Association of the Midlands to include over 300 responses from across Nebraska. Together, this regional report will offer valuable information and insight to nonprofit leaders from across our two great states.”
