Giving Tuesday On December 1 Is An Opportunity For The Industry To Make Charitable Tax-Deductible Donations
November 24, 2015 
The American Floral Endowment (AFE) is encouraging industry members to get involved in Giving Tuesday, a global day of philanthropy.
As the holiday season approaches and companies and individuals begin to think about their options for year-end charitable giving, AFE is encouraging supporters to donate to AFE to help continue providing benefits for the entire floral industry. GivingTuesday is a great opportunity to participate in the generous spirit of the holiday season by making a tax-deductible year-end donation.
“Any amount, small or large, makes a difference,” says AFE Executive Director Debi Aker. “Our generous donors who have contributed gifts throughout the years are the reason we are able to continue to fund significant programs that advance our industry.”
Aker says every donation strengthens AFE’s efforts to fund research for critical industry issues, provide scholarships, internships, and grants for students, and conduct ground-breaking consumer and scientific studies with findings available for free to industry members.
Giving Tuesday is on December 1, but year-end contributions can be made at any time until December 31 at Endowment.org/donate.
AFE is also asking its members to help encourage donations from supporters,. Here is a list of ways to get involved on Giving Tuesday:
• Contact your clients, peers, and other industry members
• Share your online story about Giving Tuesday
• Use these hashtags on social media: #GivingTuesday and #AFEsupporter
• Share AFE’s Giving Tuesday images and posts from Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn on your own social media accounts before and/or on December 1.
