2024 APSFA Giving Tree
This tree holds a special meaning for the members of the APS Foundation of America, Inc. and the community it serves. Since the Giving Tree has been such a big success, we’ve brought it back to make it an annual tradition and our primary end-of-the-year fundraiser.
How it works: Donations are made using the buttons below the tree. There is an ornament or gift that corresponds with different donation amounts. Once you have donated, the ornament you picked will be added to the tree. The Giving Tree starts bare, but as the month progresses, the tree will be decorated with your generous donations!! At the end of the fundraiser, our tree is beautifully decorated with ornaments, and gifts are spilling out from beneath it. If you prefer to remain anonymous, please let us know.
All giving tree donations (as long as they are completed by 12/31/24) are 100% tax deductible. Donations over $200 through PayPal will get an APS tote bag from our Café Press Store valued at $16.00 while supplies last.
Please scroll down past the tree to find the ornament selections and donate buttons. Or click here to jump there.
Thank you for considering the APSFA for your holiday donations and your continued support!
