Downtown Amherst Foundation

About Us

The Downtown Amherst Foundation, Inc. (DAF) is a newly formed Foundation whose purpose is to build and create culture, beauty, and programming in Downtown Amherst that ensures a thriving, beautiful and diverse cultural college community. In our first calendar year as a Foundation, we intend to secure funds through a myriad of fundraising initiatives to design, build, program, and maintain an outdoor performance space in our historic downtown. Once this capital project is complete, we will be raising funds for public art initiatives, continued programming, and collaborations with other local cultural programs to create new programming for our downtown community.
