Join us
We function as a collective of trusted individuals who deal with different tasks around keeping the Fund going. There are various roles people can hold in the collective: from spreading information to dealing with finances.
We need more hands to keep the work running smoother and to prevent the bulk of work from falling on a few members. If you would like to be part of the A-Fund collective, please continue reading. Before you decide to apply, please consider the time and energy levels you have and ask yourself again if this is something you want to commit to. It’s important for us to rely on each other in the work we are doing and we also have security concerns: the information we share is not safe if people who are not committed to the collective have access to it (even with best intentions). If your energy levels are lower during these times (happens to all of us), consider informing us of possible support you can offer as a volunteer, and we will try to find different ways to collaborate.

Don’t have the time or energy to be a full-time member, but still want to help? Drop us a line about what you can do for the Fund, and we will try to find a way to collaborate. We will be extremely happy to hear from designers, distro sellers and so on..
The A-Fund
Our collective solidarity structure provides support to anarchists around the world who are persecuted or find themselves in a difficult life situation because of their political ideas or activities.
The Anarchist Defence Fund incorporates the mode of solidarity introduced by the International Anti-Fascist Defence Fund which successfully provides similar support to antifascists.
We are a collective structure because anyone who makes an annual donation of $20U.S./€20/£15 can join the decision-making body that decides if a certain request is supported by the fund. Decisions are taken online by consensus, or by a simple majority vote if consensus is not possible.
