Donating to the Association for Fire Ecology
We are grateful for your support!
Thank you for your support of AFE programs. Below are links to make donations to our programs online through a secure online payment processor. We also accept checks; please write "donation" in the memo line, specify if you are donating to a specific program, and send by mail.
Donation Types
General Donation
Donations help support AFE Programs, including the open access journal Fire Ecology, student activities, the Wildland Fire Certification Program, webinars and conferences, the Fire Ecology Chats podcasts, position papers, newsletters, awards, the Mentoring Futures Program, and more! All donations go back into the organization, as we work to serve our members and the wildland fire community.
Bequest and Endowment Program
AFE’s Endowment Fund was created in 2015 to help plan for the long-term stability of the organization. We invite donations to the fund through wills, trusts, insurance policies, or as direct donations to the organization. Bequests to the endowment will be added to the principal, which will generate interest and annual dividends to support AFE programs over time.
Wayne Harrison Memorial Scholarship
Wayne Harrison, a leader in the fire ecology, prescribed fire, and founding member of AFE passed away in 2019. As a lasting contribution to the fire ecology and management community, Wayne's family partnered with AFE to fulfill his wish of creating a student scholarship to support fire ecology research and management activities internationally.
Mike da Luz Memorial Scholarship
To support student travel to conferences, you can donate directly to the Mike da Luz Memorial Student Scholarship. This scholarship has helped 5 international students attend fire conferences since 2014.
