FUNraisers for Africa


Dear FUNraisers,

Let me start off by welcoming you into the AMREF family and thanking you for supporting our vision of lasting health change in Africa. 

You can’t imagine how important your commitment is to the millions of people who benefit from our services in the over 30 African countries in which we operate. Take for instance, an AMREF-trained midwife, who can care for and provide health education to 500 mothers per year – and this is just one example of the type of work AMREF does and its far reaching impact. Please know that your efforts will make a difference.

We are so thankful and appreciative of the time and energy you are taking to help AMREF enable millions of Africans to take charge of their own health, and live healthier lives. From all of us at AMREF, we thank you for your commitment, passion and generosity.

Sincerely,
L Signature
Executive Director, AMREF USA

FunRaising for Africa in Action

After Ben Nottingham had attended a few benefit events, he decided to organize his own event in support of AMREF's Stand Up for African Mothers campaign. Following our Funraiser’s Guide, he created a benefit committee including friends and family and started planning.

Ben Nottingham and Committee at Benefit Auction Event for AMREF, New York City, April 11, 2013

Together, the fun-raisers hosted an exciting auction event in New York City, bringing together more than 70 friends old and new. This was real work! But in the end it paid off.  Ben and Committee raised more than $20,000 in support of AMREF’s Stand Up for African Mothers campaign!

We are deeply grateful for Ben’s and his Committee’s generosity!

Please take a look at our Funraiser’s toolkit on the left to get inspired to plan your event or other fun-raising activity.
