Watch NPD 2021 Below:
National Philanthropy Day is a special day to recognize and pay tribute to the meaningful contributions that philanthropy — and those active in our own philanthropic community — make to our lives, communities and world. This year, AFP Golden Gate will join chapters across the country and around the world on November 18 to present National Philanthropy Day 2021 virtually, and honor individuals, organizations and businesses in the San Francisco Bay Area who generously give their time, talents and resources for the enrichment and benefit of our communities. Please join us in celebrating the giving spirit and exemplary leaders of our philanthropic community.
Description: New data recently released by the US Census Bureau from last year’s 2020 Census confirms what many were already speculating: racial and enthic diversity has continued to increase across the United States over the past decade and particularly in California, the most populous state in the nation.
California’s white population fell by 24% between 2010 and 2020 while California’s Asian population grew by 25% to 6 million people. Hispanics surpassed whites as California’s largest ethnic group, growing by 11% to 15.5 million, just shy of 40% of the state’s nearly 40 million residents. California has the highest Native American population in the country with 1.4 million residents representing 3.5% of the state’s population.
What are the implications of increasing diversity across our communities for philanthropy? This year’s Philanthropy Forum brings together a diverse group of volunteer fundraisers, philanthropists and civic leaders to explore how philanthropy and fundraising are practiced across the diverse communities of the Bay Area.
We invite you to join this engaging conversation.
