The saying goes you can change the world one person at a time. This idea is the constant that runs deep in people who work for social change. Often, such people do not recognize their natural kindness and generosity; frequently, it is up to others to acknowledge their good works.

Each November, the Association of Fundraising Professionals holds National Philanthropy Day to recognize those who step up to do more for someone or something else. Through events held across the country, the association acknowledges the 'entire spectrum of services' provided by the nonprofit community and recognizes 'the profound impact philanthropy has on the fabric of society.'"
