AFP members and affiliates enable people and organizations to better serve diverse communities and society as a whole. AFP represents 26,000 members in 172 chapters throughout the world.

National Philanthropy Day celebrates the great contributions philanthropy, and those who work in the philanthropic process, make to our community. AFP Chapters involve more than 36,000 individuals in celebrating philanthropy each year.
