With engaging visuals, the educational video illustrates how the floral community can come together to sustain growth through AFE\u2019s programs, which have fueled progress for more than six decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cThis new video is more than just an explanation of AFE and what we do,\u201d <\/strong>said David Garcia of Pete Garcia Company\/Garcia Group, AFE Chairman.<strong> \u201cIt\u2019s an invitation to get involved and help us continue building a stronger, more innovative industry for generations to come.<\/strong> <strong>The Endowment exists because of the generosity and forward thinking of our industry.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1550\" height=\"870\" src=\"https:\/\/endowment.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-22-at-1.16.57-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23386\" style=\"width:507px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/endowment.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-22-at-1.16.57-PM.png 1550w, https:\/\/endowment.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-22-at-1.16.57-PM-300x168.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1550px) 100vw, 1550px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The video offers a clear look at how the Endowment works in practice. Each contribution to AFE is carefully invested, not spent, to create long-term, sustainable funding that benefits the industry year after year. Those investments have a ripple effect, with the earnings funding programs that improve flower and plant quality, expanded educational opportunities, and the development of future leaders in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>As the giving season approaches, AFE hopes the video will inspire industry members to reflect on the collective impact of their generosity.<\/strong> Each contribution helps close the gap for unfunded projects and programs, new research, and allows more of the next generation to receive the support they need to kickstart their careers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a6381a8b55a388c213f1e9d7bbc1be1a\"><strong>Give Back to the Floral Community This Holiday Season!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,rgb(255,245,203) 6%,rgb(182,227,212) 100%,rgb(51,167,181) 100%)\">We\u2019re excited to share a special opportunity to\u00a0<strong>triple\u00a0the impact<\/strong>\u00a0of your donation \u2014 but we need your help to make it happen!
