Volunteer Awards Celebration

For more than three decades, we have come together as a community of volunteers, philanthropists, business leaders, and nonprofit professionals with the commitment to sharing our time, talent, and treasure at the North County Philanthropy Council (NCPC) Volunteer Awards Luncheon. Although 2020 looks much different than we all planned, we are pleased to announce that we will continue this annual tradition of honoring and recognizing our members' Volunteers of the Year at our virtual Volunteer Awards Celebration to be broadcast on Thursday, November 19, 2020.

Be prepared to be inspired by the stories and passion of each volunteer that will be recognized. From working with community members in need and protecting the environment to providing support for seniors, our volunteers prove that we each have gifts to share, especially during these times. Together, we can magnify the spirit of philanthropy to make positive change for so many in our community.
