For 22 years, the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) of Broward County has hosted a National Philanthropy Day luncheon to celebrate community heroes. With more than 29,000 members and 196 chapters nationwide, the purpose of AFP is to advance philanthropy throughout the world. On November 11, 2009, AFP of Broward County recognized The Jim Moran Foundation as its Outstanding Philanthropic Foundation.

When Jim Moran established his foundation in 2000, it was to ensure his passion for giving back would continue well beyond his lifetime. With an active Board of Directors and the leadership of his wife, Jan, as chairman and president, The Jim Moran Foundation is doing just that. From funding family strengthening programs to changes in the approach to education, The Foundation is meeting its mission of responding to the ever-changing needs of the community. Through its many partnerships, children and youth are receiving the necessary resources to equip them for more successful futures, and seniors are enjoying better care and support services to live safely and independently with the dignity they deserve.

Jim knew that philanthropy was a labor of love. In appreciation for the dedication and hard work of passionate volunteers and nonprofit staff, faithful community leaders and all those who reach beyond themselves to make a difference, The Jim Moran Foundation celebrates your presence and impact in our community.
