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.

How We Help

 Did You Know?

We commit to offering financial assistance to our members during qualifying hardships to help prevent foreclosure. Foreclosures can have a significant and lasting effect not only on the affected families but also on the surrounding community. Explore the facts below to learn more!

  • Families facing foreclosure often experience financial difficulties, leading to increased debt and reduced access to essential services.

  • After foreclosure, children may have to change schools due to relocation, disrupting their education and social connections, which can affect academic performance.

  • Foreclosures can alter the dynamics of the housing market, with investors often purchasing foreclosed homes, which may lead to fewer affordable options for first-time buyers.

  • A significant number of foreclosures can lead to decreased property values in a neighborhood, impacting future homebuyers’ equity and investment potential.
