American Fundraising Foundation (AmFund) is dedicated to empowering worthy nonprofit organizations by providing much-needed unrestricted funds. They believe that no worthy nonprofit should ever have to restrict vital assistance due to a shortage of funds. Founded by Wade and Barbara West, former news anchors and reporters, AmFund has been contributing to nonprofits nationwide for over 24 years, distributing more than $50 million to assist their work.

AmFund offers various programs to support organizations. Their signature silent auctions, featuring once-in-a-lifetime experiences, elevate special events and draw admiration from patrons, board members, and the community. Additionally, AmFund annually distributes unrestricted funds known as Golden Pear Grants to select organizations.

The golden pear, deeply rooted in history and symbolizing wisdom, prosperity, good health, longevity, and future happiness, represents the heart of AmFund's mission. Each golden pear story represents a life impacted by the assistance of a nonprofit. The dedicated team behind AmFund, including Co-Founders Wade and Barbara West, Chief Operating Officer Deborah Marshall, and a passionate development team, ensures the success and growth of AmFund in helping hundreds of deserving nonprofits achieve their fundraising goals.
