Thank you for once again helping us support these amazing causes - we couldn’t do it without you. With your help, we are looking forward to continuing our meaningful partnerships for years to come.

Our next AFM auction will take place during our retreat in Panama. The Philanthropy Committee will be reaching out later this year to solicit donations for the auction, with a focus on experiences, such as homes, retreats, sister structured weekends in a city, etc. Please start thinking about unique and exciting experiences you can donate. If you have questions or would like input on ideas, contact Elizabeth Noe at 1eliznoe@gmail.com.

Positive Impact

The money raised over the years has allowed AFM to continue to help women and girls in need across the globe! These are organizations that are close to the hearts of members. The money that has been raised has gone to charities we have worked with within the countries we have visited, as well as your own local charities.
AFM was able to support these amazing organizations and others because of YOU!
