To learn more about our planned giving program, contact Carie Lovstad at (312) 464-4716 or Carie.Lovstad@ama-assn.org. You can also designate our organization as the charitable beneficiary of a retirement, investment, bank account, or life insurance policy. 

Those who include the AMA Foundation in their estate plans join our Legacy Society. View our dedicated members at amafoundation.org/donors.

A charitable distribution transferred straight from your IRA to the AMA Foundation will not be taxed and counts toward your required minimum distribution.

Contributing appreciated securities such as stocks or bonds is a tax-smart way to invest in the AMA Foundation’s mission. You avoid paying capital gains on the sale while receiving a charitable income tax deduction.

To transfer securities, send signed certificates by certified mail. For electronic delivery instructions, reach our team at amafoundation@ama-assn.org or (312) 413-4200.

Honoring a friend or remembering someone whose life touched your own can take the form of a tribute donation to the AMA Foundation. Upon request, the individual or family of the person being recognized will receive a personalized acknowledgment of your thoughtful gift.

Make a tribute contribution by donating online or contacting us at amafoundation@ama-assn.org or (312) 413-4200.

Companies and organizations committed to the future of medicine have a natural home at the AMA Foundation. Corporate partners help fund programs that recognize physician excellence, develop emerging medical leaders, and expand access to care. Support can take the form of a direct contribution, program sponsorship, or membership in our invitation-only Roundtable.

Learn more on our Partners page. To discuss corporate giving directly, contact Carie Lovstad at Carie.Lovstad@ama-assn.org or (312) 464-4716.

Your time and expertise can be just as transformative as a financial gift. Volunteers help review scholarship and award applications, mentor medical students through the Leadership Development Institute, and host events that introduce new audiences to our mission.
