Silent Auction
Fundraising Activities
Each year PFI organizes a silent auction to raise monies for the “Educational Programs/Scholarship Fund”. The auction is held in conjunction with the Association of Consulting Foresters of America, Inc. (ACF) National Conference. Auction donations arrive from all over the country and many are handcrafted one of a kind items. This fundraiser helps PFI provide grant opportunities each year as the endowment fund grows.
2026 ACF National Conference
The live PFI Silent Auction will be held at the ACF National Conference at the Crowne Plaza Executive Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and will open Sunday, June 28th at 3:00pm and will close during the Exhibitor Reception Monday, June 29th.
