Celebrating National AMI History


Celebrating our History!

On July 13, 1950, five women filed incorporation papers with the state of New York for the American Mothers Committee, organized in 1933 under JC Penny's Golden Rule Foundation, to become a completely independent non-profit organization. The purpose of the organization was to publicize and promote the observance of Mother's Day throughout the world and to issue awards to outstanding mothers.  It was also to study and formulate plans to assist mothers and their families and to take all steps necessary to conduct programs to assist them where needed. 

Today, we celebrate 63 years as an independent non-profit working passionately to honor, educate and serve mothers nationally and across the globe.
