AFE Programs and Endowment

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.
Donate to AFE’s Endowment Fund
AFE’s Endowment Fund was created in 2015 to help plan for the long-term stability of the organization and make AFE more financially sustainable. Donations to the endowment will be added to the principal, which will generate interest and annual dividends to support AFE programs over time.
