National Philanthropy Day 2026
Sinclair College
Thursday, November 12th
11:30 AM – 1:00 PM EST
Join us at Sinclair College for National Philanthropy Day on November 12th. This event honors the outstanding contributions in philanthropy across the Greater Dayton area, offering unparalleled networking opportunities with leading philanthropists and organizations. Nominate exceptional individuals and groups to recognize their impactful work, and consider sponsoring the event to support the growth of AFP Dayton and the lasting impact of philanthropy in our community.
Become an NPD Sponsor
National Philanthropy Day wouldn't be possible without the generosity of organizations like yours. By sponsoring NPD, you help fund scholarships for local nonprofit professionals, invest in the future of ethical, well-trained fundraising leadership in our region, and stand alongside the donors, volunteers, and organizations that make the Miami Valley thrive — all while gaining meaningful visibility with the region's philanthropic and nonprofit community.
Sponsorship levels:
Presenting Sponsor – $5,000
Two tables of 8 with preferred seating, logo recognition as presenting sponsor across all NPD materials (event webpage, invitation, program, and presentation), a full-page digital ad during the event, and recognition from the podium and at monthly AFP meetings.
Major Sponsor – $3,500
Two tables of 8, logo recognition across NPD materials, and a full-page digital ad during the event.
Patron Sponsor – $2,500

Table Sponsor – $1,000
A table of 8 and name recognition across NPD materials.

Every level puts your organization's name in front of the community leaders, fundraising professionals, and philanthropists shaping the future of giving in Dayton.
Sponsorships can be purchased from the NPD Registration page. For questions or alternative payment methods, email admin@afpdayton.org.
