Double Your Impact for AUAF Today

Help Us Meet Our $250,000 Matching Gift Challenge!

Together, we can achieve twice the impact.

Right now, every gift will be matched dollar for dollar—up to $250,000—thanks to the generosity of a committed donor. This means your gift will go twice as far to ensure that education prevails for thousands of young Afghans who dare to learn.

Rarely has AUAF had the opportunity to benefit from a single act of generosity like this. This is why we ask for your help today.

Why Give Today?

• This Opportunity Won't Last Forever: Once the $250,000 matching pool is fulfilled, the chance to double your impact will be gone.
• Immediate Action: Your gift will get straight to work, ensuring more students can access high-quality education at AUAF.
• Twice the Impact: Your gift of any size can have an even bigger impact and create double the opportunities for Afghan women and men.

Afghanistan is the only country in the world today that officially restricts access to education for women above the 6th grade. Despite this, the demand for education is stronger than ever. Last year, AUAF received over 10,000 applications within hours of opening enrollment. This year—20,000 applications. With your help, AUAF is positioned to reach more students while maintaining world-class quality.

Join Us in Making a Difference

If you can join in this effort by giving now to AUAF, you will join the contributors stepping forward to see their gifts doubled and generate an investment of $500,000 in the mission of AUAF—to empower Afghan women and men with knowledge, skills, and agency to define their own individual and collective futures.

If we can unlock this gift, we will:

• Deepen our pool of financial aid, which is critical because we pay the full cost of every student who attends AUAF.
• Strengthen the technologies that allow us to deliver our fully online educational program.
• Provide resources to the extraordinary faculty who make these curricula so impactful.

Right now, your generosity goes twice as far in creating a brighter future for Afghanistan.
