AFP Donates Tree To Mark Philanthropy Day
AFP Bermuda marked National Philanthropy Day last week by honouring the Bank of Bermuda Foundation by donating a cedar tree in the Foundation’s honour here at Verdmont, one of the National Trust properties most affected by the recent storms.
Am AFP spokesperson said, “This will become an annual event, recognising a person or organization involved in philanthropy by planting a tree that can grow and flourish, just as philanthropy in Bermuda must continue to grow and flourish.
National Philanthropy Day is a day where we highlight the accomplishments, large and small, that philanthropy — and all those involved in the philanthropic process — makes to our Bermuda community and the world. It is a day to remind people how important philanthropy is and to inspire, motivate and encourage everyone to find a way to become more involved.

“This year, AFP Bermuda has chosen to honour the Bank of Bermuda Foundation by donating a cedar tree in the Foundation’s honour here at Verdmont, one of the National Trust properties most affected by the recent storms.
“This will become an annual event, recognising a person or organization involved in philanthropy by planting a tree that can grow and flourish, just as philanthropy in Bermuda must continue to grow and flourish.
“The money that the Foundation has donated over the years to nonprofit organizations, has been vital seed money that has been used to grow programmes that thousands of Bermudians have benefited from. We thank the Bank of Bermuda Foundation for their commitment to Bermuda’s charitable sector.”
