American Floral Endowment: #InThisTogether

With the increase in shutdowns and stay at home orders, university research has slowed, and our work with placing interns is not possible. Safety is of the utmost importance. But we want you to know that while we aren’t sending daily or even weekly emails, our Board and staff are behind the scenes working to make sure AFE continues the industry’s essential programs.

AFE Update for Supporters and Industry Members

We know the floral industry doesn’t stop. We will continue our work, keep you informed of new programs and/or resources, look after our student interns and research projects, and provide information to help you navigate through these extremely challenging times.
