We envision a world where communities work together to break the cycle of poverty and build resilient, self-sustaining societies.
Who We Are
American Initiatives for Social Development Foundation (AISDF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in New York. We are dedicated to creating sustainable, long-term change in economically disadvantaged and crisis-impacted communities around the world.
What We Do
AISDF funds and supports programs that promote education, healthcare, entrepreneurial training, and other livelihood opportunities. We focus on underserved communities, particularly in less developed countries and areas recovering from crisis, to help individuals build better futures for themselves and their families.
How We Do It and What Sets Us Apart
We partner with trusted local organizations that align with our mission, providing opportunities for U.S.A.-based donors. By maintaining a lean operational structure, we ensure that the majority of funds go directly to the communities in need. Our approach emphasizes grassroots empowerment—supporting programs run by local leaders who best understand the needs, culture, and values of the people they serve. This partnership model ensures that solutions are community-led and sustainable.
