Workplace Giving
Many companies have a charitable payroll deduction program, if your employer offers a workplace-giving program please consider participating in that program, and consider directing your charitable giving to the American Friendship Foundation (AFF). Visit tour website at www.AFFhope.org to find out more information about specific AFF Projects you can support.
Half the world’s population lives on less than $2 a day; there is pressing need for clean water, education, healthcare and economic opportunities. Workplace giving assists you in making a difference for those who need your support. Your company may offer hundreds of choices of supported charities, please help us get AFF on that list. AFF assures you that your gift will reach the Project you designated.
