At the Appalachian Memory & Aging Initiative (AMAI), we believe that lasting change happens when communities come together. Whether you’re motivated by the Head, Heart, or Hands, there’s a place for you in our mission:
Make A Financial Donation Today

Zeffy is a fundraising platform that helps nonprofits, like AMAI, fulfill their mission and achieve their vision. When you donate to AMAI using the Zeffy platform, an option to contribute 15% of your donation amount will be automatically selected during the checkout process. This is optional. To bypass this option, click on the dropdown box, choose “other,” and enter “0” (zero) in the box marked by the “$” sign. 

A tax receipt will be provided for all financial contributions. Donations may also be mailed to our organization at the following address:

Abingdon, VA 24210

Grow your knowledge, gain experience for school or work, or contribute your skills in research and advocacy.
Give back because dementia or aging has touched your life, or simply because you feel called to make a difference.
Connect with others, support your neighbors, and help build a movement that uplifts older adults in Appalachia.
