Was this a mischievous question? The Amish are famous for their static, unchanging culture that has little interaction with outsiders. They don't "contribute" much except an example of how a community can function.

However, they have made some contributions to genetics and psychology. Because they are a closely related people who rarely intermarry with outsiders, there are certain genetic weaknesses that they never have, and other weaknesses that they have in high numbers. This makes them an useful group of people for researchers.
