Colorado Chapter is a membership organization that advances philanthropy in our region by creating opportunities for fundraising professionals to network, grow professionally, and advance our field.

National Philanthropy Day
For more than 30 years, National Philanthropy Day (NPD) has recognized the important work of Colorado’s giving community, highlighting outstanding individuals and organizations from communities throughout our state. Gathering to celebrate philanthropy never fails to inspire and rejuvenate the nonprofit community in Colorado.
We will have the opportunity to learn how individuals, organizations, and businesses across Colorado are creating a kinder, more sustainable, and just world. We will connect with other change-makers who care about philanthropy and our vibrant nonprofit sector. We will celebrate award winners and honorees and the difference philanthropy makes in Colorado and the world. The event typically sells out at 700 attendees.
On November 6, 2025, we will hold NPD in person at the Seawell Ballroom at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. Our sponsors can be confident that supporting NPD will lead to meaningful recognition among the Colorado nonprofit community. We invite you to support and celebrate those who uplift philanthropy around our state.
