At the heart of the philanthropic community are people-organizers, communicators, mentors, and innovators, all who are willing to inspire, enlighten, feed, heal, shelter, educate, and nurture the people in our community. Each year, West Suburban Philanthropic Network recognizes these outstanding individuals, businesses, foundations, and corporations and the skilled, fundraising professionals who serve alongside them through its Annual Philanthropy Awards. It is our pleasure to present and invite you to join us in-person to celebrate our 2023 WSPN Awards Honorees and Finalists.
