The Foundation serves as an advocate for the profession and as a voice for you, the practitioner, supplier or service provider, through its support of the Association. To continue to provide these needed services, the Foundation needs financial support, support that you can provide. Whether at the corporate level, individual level or both, it is in your best interest to support your profession. Of course, all donations are tax deductible. If you are an individual, assess what the ASFPM has meant to you, directly or indirectly, and give accordingly. If you are corporate leaders, how about considering a corporate matching challenge?

The mission of the ASFPM Foundation is to be an incubator for research and education that promotes wise floodplain management.

VISION STATEMENT

The ASFPM Foundation is the recognized leader in developing and advancing knowledge that promotes sound floodplain management policy and practice.

BACKGROUND

In 1996, the Association of State Floodplain Managers (ASFPM) established a not-for-profit, tax-free Foundation whose vision is to be the recognized leader in developing and advancing knowledge that promotes sound floodplain management policy and practice. The ASFPM Foundation mission, then, is to be an incubator for research and education that promotes wise floodplain management.

The Foundation seeks and directs funds to help the ASFPM meet its goals. While the missions of both are interlocked, the Foun-dation is a separate corporate body with its own Board of Trustees and Bylaws.
