Habitat SLO was honored to attend the 2025 National Philanthropy Day celebration, where local leaders in giving were recognized for their outstanding impact. Dawn Smith, our Director of Development and former AFP Central Coast board member, proudly represented Habitat SLO at the event.

This year’s honorees included Ann Robinson, Philanthropist of the Year, and Trust Automation, Business Philanthropist of the Year. The keynote address was delivered by Art Taylor, the new President & CEO of AFP Global, who emphasized ethics, transparency, and partnership in philanthropy.

We extend our congratulations to all honorees and thank the Central Coast philanthropic community for inspiring change and building a better future.
