AFL Sets off its 40th Anniversary with a $10M Philanthropic Foundation
On the day marking its 40th anniversary, Duncan-headquartered AFL didn’t just cut the cake, they unveiled a beautiful present for communities worldwide. Bursting onto the philanthropic scene, AFL announced the launch of The AFL Foundation. This isn’t your standard anniversary celebration, folks. AFL has decided to double down on its community involvement by starting this new initiative in collaboration with the Spartanburg County Foundation – all kickstarted with a whopping $10 million investment.
AFL’s commitment to community goes far beyond words. For about four decades, this terrific company has been playing an instrumental role in the areas they operate, both locally and globally. This goes from their extensive volunteer projects and scholarship programs to grants and disaster recovery assistance. Now with this latest move, they’ve just upped their game – promising continued dedication to those in need.
The AFL Foundation: A Powerful Alliance
The alignment with the Spartanburg County Foundation, a veteran with over 75 years in the charitable administration sector, will help AFL to stretch their giving muscles to wider territories. Together, they aim to improve the quality of life in various communities, making sure that resources are directed where they’re needed the most. A focus on creating sustainable, positive changes is at the heart of their mission.
Speaking about the new union, Troy M. Hanna, the president and CEO of the Spartanburg County Foundation, said this partnership demonstrated AFL’s commitment to a culture of giving and making a difference in the lives of others. That’s a powerful shared goal if we ever heard one!
Gearing Up for the Future
Since its inception in 1984, AFL has grown to become a major player in the manufacturing world, specializing in end-to-end solutions for different industries including energy, services, and hyperscale markets. Even as a global entity, maintaining a strong community presence is evidently a core part of their mission, from Duncan to the rest of the world.
As for the foundation, it’s about looking ahead as much as it is about celebrating the past. AFL president and CEO, Jaxon Lang, commented on the foundation’s establishment, ardently expressing commitment not just to their past but to a bright and engaged future too. Here’s to the next 40 years!
The launch of The AFL Foundation is indeed a remarkable way to celebrate an anniversary. Rather than focusing simply on their own success, AFL is showing us all what true community involvement looks like, setting an example for companies around the globe. They say the best way to predict the future is to create it, and by all account, AFL is doing just that. Happy 40th Anniversary, AFL, and here’s to many more years of impactful presence in our communities.
