Make Amherst Better

Amherst is full of people with good ideas, generous hearts and a willingness to pitch in. ACF exists to help turn that energy into action.

Maybe you want to support the Foundation and help us continue our work. Maybe there’s a particular ACF project or community effort you care about. Or maybe you’re part of a local organization—or simply have an idea yourself—and need funding, fundraising support, connections or a partner to help bring it to life.

Get Involved

ACF can provide funding directly, help raise money for worthwhile community projects, bring organizations and people together, and provide the structure and support that can help a good idea get off the ground.

You can support our Annual Fund, contribute to one of our current projects, volunteer your time or expertise, or reach out to us with an idea or need in the community.

There are lots of ways to make Amherst better. Our job is to help make more of them possible.
