Overview

Mission

Aftre's purpose is to organize and promote activities for charitable, scientific, literary or educational and training purposes, including research, studies, experiments, conferences, publications, and related activities that will improve the aggregates industry, which concerns itself to a great extent with the mining, processing and use of crushed stone, sand, and gravel in the building and highway construction industries and to receive contributions, manage the funds so received and pay them over to organizations that are qualified under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and whose activities will improve the aggregates industry.

What it reported doing in 2024

Aftre had no major program activity in 2024. It houses the jennifer curtis byler memorial fund as well as the wendt memorial fund. A $5,001 wendt memorial scholarship was awarded as part of the annual engineering or aggregates industry-related scholarship program.
