Become Part of Our Heritage Circle

The American Floral Endowment’s (AFE) Board of Trustees is pleased to announce the establishment of the Heritage Circle – an honorary organization composed of persons who have made provision for a planned gift to AFE through a bequest, a life insurance policy, a trust or otherwise, such as a retirement plan beneficiary designation.

The establishment of the Heritage Circle affords AFE an opportunity to extend our warm appreciation to individuals who notify us of their thoughtful gift intentions.

If you have already arranged for a planned gift to benefit AFE, we welcome you into the Heritage Circle and count you among our founding members. If not, we invite you to consider a bequest or other arrangement. We would be pleased to send you further information and, if you wish, meet with you personally to explore the various options.

Your support can provide vital assistance to AFE in our efforts to fund research and scholarships that are so critical to the industry. We need your help – and we look forward to expressing our gratitude through the new Heritage Circle.

Heritage Circle Members in attendance were honored at the 2009 AFE Fundraising Dinner in Phoenix, Arizona - September 23, 2009.
