Festival of Philanthropy recognizes Arkansas’s philanthropic spirit by highlighting individuals and organizations who have made a significant impact in our state, and providing education on a wide array of topics that impact the daily work of non-profit employees around the state. The combined event will allow attendees to engage in a compelling combination of keynote speakers, presentations, and networking opportunities that move ideas forward and shine a light on those making a difference for Arkansans.
