BENEFIT SPOTLIGHT: MAFSI Gives - Feb/Mar 2025

MAFSI Launches Philanthropic Initiative: MAFSI Gives

At the recent MAFSI reception during The NAFEM Show 2025, we proudly introduced MAFSI Gives, a new initiative designed to inspire community engagement through volunteerism. Whether as individuals, companies, or MAFSI Chapters, our goal is to encourage participation and create meaningful volunteer opportunities that make a difference.

Kicking Off MAFSI Gives

MAFSI GIVES officially launches during National Volunteer Week, April 20th–26th.

How to Get Involved

1. Share Your Efforts – Send pictures and descriptions of your volunteer activities to info@mafsi.org. We'll feature them on social media and the MAFSI Gives webpage in April. We know many of you are already giving back, and we want to highlight your impact! Use hashtags #MAFSIGIVES, #MAFSICOMMUNITYOVERCOMPETITION, and #MAFSIVOLUNTEERS to spread the word.
   
   
2. Volunteer – If you and your team aren’t already involved, seek out local opportunities and identify charities to support. Make volunteering a part of your brand by scheduling regular activities.
   
   
3. Share Volunteer Opportunities – Know of great local or national charities in need of support? Let us know, and we’ll help spread the word.
   
   
4. Keep It Going – Volunteering is an ongoing effort, and its positive impact is contagious. Keep the momentum alive by making it a regular practice.

Getting Started

• Search online for local organizations in need of support.
• Ask your team for charity suggestions to get everyone involved.

Volunteering can take many forms—onsite or remote. Whether it’s making phone calls to seniors, assembling care packages, or participating in hands-on community projects, you can contribute individually, as a team, or as a chapter. If volunteering isn’t possible, consider fundraising or donating.

Why MAFSI Gives?

Our ultimate goal is to cultivate a strong culture of volunteerism within MAFSI and eventually incorporate volunteer events into our annual conference. Your participation is key to making this initiative impactful and meaningful.
