Please support the ASFPM Foundation on GIVING TUESDAY 2024

The ASFPM Foundation will again participate in this year’s #GivingTuesday event, which is slated to take place on December 3^rd – the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving. Like past years, the majority of donations we receive the week before, the day of, and the week after will go towards funding our Future Leaders Scholarship, which we are now able to fund yearly, due in large part to our success on #Giving Tuesday! This year’s goal is $40,000, and as added incentiveto meet this goal, we have a number of corporate donors who are offering to match the amount of donations we receive throughout the day on December 3^rd.  

Ways you can give…

All donations can be made through our donation page on the ASFPM Foundation Website. There, you will be able to donate in any amount and use a variety of methods including PayPal, or by any major credit card. We also welcome individual, chapter, and corporate donors who may wish to offer matching funds to further encourage others to give. Any questions may be directed to asfpmfoundation@floods.org.

Please help make this year’s #GivingTuesday event even more successful than last. Your generosity is shaping our Nation’s future by helping a deserving college student pursue their academic career in a related flood risk management profession.
