When we think about giving, money often comes to mind first. But at the American Migraine Foundation (AMF), we know generosity takes many forms—and every act of giving helps advance our vision of a world where people living with migraine can live fuller, more visible lives.
Whether you share your story, start a conversation, or raise awareness in your community, your actions create ripples of impact that help others feel seen, supported, and empowered. Giving doesn’t always require a donation—it can start with a simple act of connection.
Share Your Story
Sharing your personal experience with migraine is one of the most powerful ways to give back. Stories bring visibility to an often-invisible disease and remind others they’re not alone. When you share your journey, you help raise awareness, reduce stigma, and inspire others to seek care or connect with the community.
You can submit your story through our online form to help others understand what life with migraine truly looks like. Share your story.
Spread Awareness Online
A simple share can go a long way. Follow AMF on social media, engage with our posts, and share educational resources to help others get “headucated.” You can also use hashtags like #MoveAgainstMigraine to join the conversation and connect with others who care about migraine advocacy.
Your voice helps build understanding and amplifies doctor-verified information for people looking for support and answers.
Start a Fundraiser
Giving doesn’t have to come out of your own pocket. By starting a Migraine Fundraiser, you can invite friends, family, and coworkers to participate and raise awareness together. From bake sales and birthday donations to virtual challenges, every event—big or small—supports migraine research, education, and advocacy.
Get started by creating your own fundraising page and exploring AMF’s free toolkit. Start a fundraiser.
Advocate in Your Community
Small acts of advocacy can create big change. Talk to your employer about migraine-friendly workplace accommodations, share AMF’s free patient guides with loved ones, or start a local support group to connect with others living with migraine.
Every time you start a conversation about migraine, you help shift public perception and make life a little easier for the millions of people affected by this disease.
Volunteer Your Time
Giving your time and empathy is one of the most meaningful ways to help. Volunteer at AMF events, participate in awareness campaigns, or simply check in on someone in your life who lives with migraine. Acts of kindness and understanding go a long way toward building a supportive community.
Other Ways to Give
For those who wish to make a direct financial impact, there are many flexible giving options. You can support AMF online, through your Donor-Advised Fund (DAF), or even directly from your IRA. These contributions help fund research, education, and advocacy efforts that improve life for people living with migraine.
However You Give, It Matters
Every share, story, and small act of kindness brings us closer to a future where migraine is better understood—and every person living with migraine feels seen and supported.
You don’t need to give money to make a difference. You just need to give in your own way.
