In 1986, Orange County businessman and philanthropist Doug Freeman convinced President Ronald Reagan to establish National Philanthropy Day to thank those in the community who are the “ultimate givers.”
In November, 2020, National Philanthropy Day celebrated its 35
th anniversary with the theme of “Bringing Philanthropy Home.”
Each year more than 130 Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) chapters throughout the U.S., Mexico and Canada honor the philanthropic efforts of individuals, businesses and groups. Freeman, who continues to participate, says of AFP, “I am so grateful that AFP took on the responsibility early on of sponsoring this effort all these years.”

A local academy has raised over £1,000 for its winter food bank which will be used to deliver much needed food to the town during the new year.
Louise Goldsby, a teacher at the Everitt Academy in Carlton Colville, decided to set up a GoFundMe page to raise funds for the school s winter food bank.
At Everitt Academy, over half the children receive free school meals, with 20 per cent of its pupils being in care, which means anytime away from school often means children having no access to warm meals.
