American Chamber of Commerce in Thailand Foundation (ATF)
Education has been a core value for AMCHAM since the very beginning of the Chamber. Over the last three decades, AMCHAM has provided over 3,100 scholarships, supported over 860 schools, and brought dozens of native speaking English teachers to rural schools.
In 2004, AMCHAM formally registered the American Chamber of Commerce in Thailand Foundation (ATF) to carry out its charitable activities. The ATF is recognized by the Ministry of Finance as a Public Charitable Organization (number 632) and donations are deductible in Thailand.
100% of all cash donations go to scholarships and direct program costs. No donation money goes to overhead, as administrative support is provided entirely by AMCHAM staff and the Community Projects Council.
