Individual donors can support the American Folklore Society as it works to keep folklorists connected every day. The AFS Endowment Fund is for donors who want to make a present gift or a future pledge that will be invested rather than spent. Investment income from these gifts will strengthen the Society and field for the long-term. Since the endowment-building campaign began in 2003, many of our colleagues have made present or future gifts; some have shared stories about why they gave. Contact Jessica Turner, Executive Director (jturner@afsnet.org, 812-856-2346) to discuss future gifts.

We welcome gifts in any amount—your participation is what is important. Contributions to AFS, a non-profit organization, are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. The amount of your contribution will always remain confidential, but unless you would prefer to remain anonymous, we will add your name to our alphabetical list of donors.

Donations may be sent by mail to the American Folklore Society, 800 East Third Street, Bloomington, IN 47405 USA; please indicate which fund you’re supporting in the memo line.
