Make a Donation

Help bring shelter, hope, opportunity, and good health to the people of the Himalayas.

For gifts of $100 or more, you will receive AHF's brand-new T-shirt or lovely Tibetan prayer flags.  Let us know your preference (and your shirt size, if necessary).

Compassion makes a great present!

Would you like to make a gift in honor of someone?  For gift donations, we'll send the person of your affection a beautiful thank you card and a lovely silk khata. (On the donation check-out page, you will find a space to let us know who this lucky person is.)  Limit one card-and-khata for each minimum $25 donation.  Thanks!

There's something for everyone.

Would you like to give to a specific project?  Great!  Be sure to let us know which project you'd like to support in the space labeled “Note for AHF” on the donation check-out page.
