Utah Philanthropy Day

2010 Utah Philanthropy Day Luncheon Announced

On Thursday, November 18, 2010, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., we will honor some of Utah's philanthropic and volunteer leaders by presenting them with awards at a gala luncheon. The giving spirit of the awardees serves as an inspiration to other individuals and organizations to spread the impact of community giving.

The luncheon will be held in the Little America Hotel Ballroom, and space is limited to 800 attendees.

Each November since 1999, the Utah Society of Fund Raisers and the Utah Nonprofits Association have celebrated Utah's outstanding philanthropists and volunteer leaders at the annual Philanthropy Day Luncheon.

In its first year, Utah Philanthropy Day recognized some very prestigious members of our community such as Jon and Karen Huntsman, Sr., Harris and Amanda Simmons and the George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Foundation. It was an honor to celebrate these fine individuals and organizations, and to continue to do so each year, carrying out the tradition of recognizing the ultimate in compassion brought forth in our community.

Five prestigious awards honor the various components of the critical nexus between visionary, supportive philanthropy and thriving, creative nonprofit organizations that respond to community concerns and the need for change.
