MAKE CHANGE HAPPEN

Why I donate

“For 30 years, AFS has provided a variety of unique opportunities for hundreds of children of HSBC employees to live and study overseas. We watched them grow into confident, resilient, mature and culturally aware young adults—some of the very qualities that HSBC values in our people,”

— Steven Travis, HSBC Chief Administration Officer.

AFS A. Piatt Andrew Fund Established

The AFS A. Piatt Andrew Fund was established to honor the legacy of A. Piatt Andrew, the founder of AFS to benefit the AFS mission today. The annual distributions from the Fund will be applied where the funds are needed most, such as supporting volunteerism in AFS and helping AFS advance activities that meet its mission of providing intercultural learning opportunities to help people develop the knowledge, skills and understanding needed to create a more just and peaceful world.

How do I apply for a "company match" so that my employer can double my donation?

You can start by checking if your company offers a matching program online at doublethedonation.com/matching-gift-search. If you don’t see your company listed, check with your human resources department. They will provide you with your company’s matching form and requirements, if available.

Where does the money go when I donate "unrestricted funds"?

How do I include AFS in my will or trust?

Naming an organization in your will or trust is commonly referred to as a “bequest” or “planned giving.”

If you would like to remember AFS Intercultural Programs, Inc. in your will or trust, you may simply include a specific dollar amount or percentage of your estate assets, and include that in your official will or trust documents. For example:

“I hereby give to AFS Intercultural Programs, Inc., a New York nonprofit corporation with its principal offices at 5 Hanover Square, Suite 200, New York, NY 10004 (the sum of $____) or (____% of the residue of my estate) to be used for its general purposes.”

Is my donation to AFS tax-deductible?

Certain donations to AFS are tax-deductible, namely donations to AFS International, AFS-USA and all of our global funds (such as the AFS Global Impact Fund, Covid-19 Response Fund, Volunteer Ambulance Drivers Fund etc.). Donors to these will receive a tax receipt with your acknowledgement. Direct donations to AFS in other countries through our website are not tax-deductible, and donors receive an acknowledgement only.

Thank you for standing with AFS

The Covid-19 pandemic underscores the need for global cooperation and reflects the importance of the AFS mission. Stand with us by donating to AFS today.
