This has been a roller coaster of a school year. Families that desired an in-person option for their students in pre-K through fifth grade anticipated today as the date of reentry.

The Greater Atlanta Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) will honor dedicated philanthropists at its 38th annual celebration of National Philanthropy Day, on October 29, 2020. This year’s celebration, “Leading through Giving: Strength in Unity” will honor members of the business, not-for-profit, philanthropic, and volunteer communities. The award-winning Atlanta production company, Living Stories, and the interactive live events platform will provide attendees opportunities to network one-on-one, watch keynote presentations, and engage with event sponsors. AFP looks forward to honoring Metro Atlanta’s philanthropic leaders and celebrating community successes during this year of unprecedented challenges.
In addition to recognizing Kim Gresh as Volunteer Fundraiser of the Year, the following awardees will receive honors:
Complicating matters is that this shift poses challenges in accurately assessing student progress and participation. But as more data emerges, one thing continues to be clear, experts say — the pandemic is amplifying inequities between students.
Join our growing collective of parents, educators, community leaders, and philanthropists invested in Atlanta public school education. Together, we will transform this city into a place where every student in every community has access to a great K-12 public education.
