AFP Tampa Bay Introduces
2021 Tampa Bay
Philanthropy Week
November 15th - 19th, 2021
A week-long celebration of National Philanthropy Day
Presented by the Community Foundation of Tampa Bay
The COVID-19 pandemic changed everything about how we move in the world
in a matter of weeks. Then, the world
shifted again after the murder of George Floyd and the wave of social justice
protests that followed. Through it
all, Tampa Bay philanthropists,
nonprofits, and fundraisers have been essential in providing solutions to the ongoing problems our community
faces through this health crisis and social unrest.
Our community has countless stories of generosity and innovation as
nonprofits address new needs, philanthropists
invest in long-term solutions, and fundraisers work tirelessly to ensure financial
stability. This prompted AFP Tampa
Bay to launch the first ever Tampa Bay Philanthropy Week to help tell these stories as part of a one-of-a-kind,
weeklong celebration of National
Philanthropy Day.
In 2021, our collective experience has not changed much. Rather than
subject you to more virtual meetings,
we are going to bring you a week-long virtual celebration of philanthropists,
nonprofits, fundraisers, and our
community. AFP Tampa Bay will start the campaign on Monday, November 15th
and we will conclude our digital
festivities on Friday, November 19th with an in-person celebration
of philanthropy in our community. The
virtual storytelling will take place on our Tampa Bay Philanthropy Week website, our AFP Tampa Bay Facebook Page, and other social media outlets.
Instead of our annual NPD nomination process, we are going to ask
members of the community to submit
stories of how people in this community are going above and beyond for the love of humankind. We will have a small panel of AFP members enlisted to select five stories as part of a video series that we will
share throughout Tampa Bay Philanthropy Week.
We will also be spotlighting individuals on our Heart of the Community
Gallery on our website and in our TBPW Podcast, which can be found anywhere you like to listen.

giving from 2020 at PhilanthropyTampaBay.org
