This year, Floralife, a division of Smithers-Oasis, is partnering with the American Floral Endowment to support AFE’s work.
Smithers-Oasis Matching Gift AFE Challenge
Now through December 31, 2017, Smithers-Oasis will match your donations, dollar-for-dollar, up to $20,000. In other words, when you give your support to the AFE Endowment, you’re not only investing in the future of the floral industry – you are doubling your contribution.
“Every day, the AFE works for the future of the floral industry, and everyone who makes their living in it,” says Jim Daly, Vice President Floralife/Grower Global Operations and Corporate Research. “The AFE Challenge is one of those times when your gift is truly an investment, and we’re happy to help out.”
An extra perk: your donation is also tax deductible.
All you have to do is go to endowment.org/donate-to-afe and fill out the form.
* The Smithers-Oasis Matching Gift Challenge applies to new contributions only, not to current pledges. Make your tax deductible donation before December 31st, 2017.
