The American Foundation™ is a 501(c)(3) nonpartisan nonsectarian public charity dedicated to increasing philanthropy. We have the same public charity status as churches, youth organizations, and universities. We achieve our charitable mission by helping individuals, families, and corporations create family and corporate foundation accounts that give financial support to their favorite charities. We strive to make the entire process of philanthropy easy and rewarding by providing simple procedures, ongoing education and a great amount of donor direction.
