American Pledge
We pledge to help you buy a home and stay in it.
Who We Are
There are several programs in existence that help Americans buy a home, but none that help them stay in it. American Pledge Foundation (AMPF) exists to fill that void. As a non-profit, we partner with various organizations to help aspiring homeowners in underserved communities achieve and maintain homeownership. Our partnerships afford us the opportunity to offer down payment assistance and essential financial support during times of hardship at no cost to the homeowner.
Life is unpredictable and unexpected expenses can arise. To help American Pledge Foundation (AMPF) members maintain homeownership during qualifying hardships, we pledge to set up a safety-net fund for each homeowner. This fund will allow AMPF to make mortgage payments directly to the lender, so homeowners can focus on getting back on the happy path.
