Our local charities touch countless lives, teach us about compassion, advocate for important issues and work to make Phoenix, and our world, a safer, healthier and happier place to live.

Philanthropy is the driving force that enables nonprofit organizations to realize their missions. Without altruistic giving from the heart, they could never accomplish the powerful work that they accomplish every year.

The AFP Greater Arizona Chapter is proud to honor our nonprofit heroes at our 30th Annual Philanthropy Leadership Awards Dinner.
