ALEXANDRIA, VA – The American Floral Endowment (AFE) is once again partaking in the #GivingTuesday initiative, an annual day of giving that encourages charitable donations from supporters.
GivingTuesday is an online movement that allows people to participate in the generous spirit of the holiday season by getting involved and giving back.
Occurring this year on Tuesday, Nov. 29, floral industry supporters are encouraged to make a tax-deductible, year-end donation to AFE to help us continue providing benefits for all segments of the industry.
Every donation strengthens AFE's efforts to fund research for critical industry issues, provide scholarships, internships and grants for students, and conduct groundbreaking consumer and scientific studies with findings available free to industry members.
The Endowment has joined #GivingTuesday for the third consecutive year to inspire those involved in the industry to give back in order to strengthen the future of floriculture and horticulture.
#GivingTuesday is on Nov. 29, but year-end contributions can be made at any time between now and Dec. 31 at endowment.org/donate.
