Greetings ASFPM Friends and Colleagues!

#GivingTuesday is a global day of charitable giving that was created in 2012 and was born out of a simple idea: set aside one day out of the year as a day that encourages people to do good. #GivingTuesday is held annually the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, which this year is November 28th. Once again, the ASFPM Foundation is participating in #GivingTuesday and all donations received will be directed towards the Future Leaders Scholarship fund. Our goal this year is to raise at least $40,000, which will allow us to continue to offer the scholarship every year instead of every other year as we have done in the past.

This year is particularly exciting because we have a number of corporate donors who have graciously and generously donated as incentives for matching donations. Throughout the day be on the lookout for posts encouraging donations that will be matched by the following companies. Their participation will certainly help us reach our goal!



We are asking for the support of our ASFPM friends and colleagues to help make this year’s #GivingTuesday2023 event a smashing success – even more so than last year! You can help us by donating today through Friday – no amount is too small! Three, five, or ten dollars will go a long way to help us reach our goal. You can donate several ways: 1) Text FLOODS to (877) 678-1487; or 2) or donate online.

You can also help us by getting the word out about #GivingTuesday2023 using your own social media platforms. We will be posting on the Foundation’s X (formerly known as Twitter) and LinkedIn social media platforms and ask that you take a moment to "follow” them via your own accounts. Our social media team will be watching for this and will follow your social media accounts. You can then search for others to follow as this increases the network that your posts will reach. Each post, liked post, and repost increases our exposure and the possibility of someone choosing to donate. Thank you in advance for helping us spread the word about #GivingTuesday2023!

Know that your continued support and generosity is greatly valued; your partnership with the Foundation is essential for our success!
