ActionAid USA

It is a rare find to connect with an organization that is willing to step in during the most difficult times for various communities, but ActionAid does just that. That is what draws me to their work to be honest. They keep their ears close to the ground and are ready to jump in as critical crises begin to kick off. I appreciate knowing that ActionAid is an org that is dedicated to protecting our communities by taking action now.

I just recently learned about ActionAid USA, and I’m already impressed! They are super committed to tackling big issues like poverty and climate change, which is pretty important to me as an environmental physicist. I also appreciate their partnering with local communities to create real change NOW. I’m excited to follow their work and see how they make a difference!

ActionAid USA does incredible work helping communities in need of justice and liberation. They understand today's global challenges, from disaster relief to fighting for economic and climate justice. Their deep and direct work with local leaders makes their impact even more substantial. Knowing how many folks connect with ActionAid when it comes to their philanthropic and social good efforts makes the work done at ActionAid USA even more meaningful.

I’ve been consistently impressed by ActionAid USA and the incredible work they’re doing to fight injustice and inequality worldwide. What resonates with me the most is how they genuinely put people at the center of everything they do, especially those who are most affected by issues like poverty and climate change. Their focus on empowering communities, particularly women and girls, really aligns with my own values. It’s not just about providing aid, but about giving people the tools and resources to advocate for themselves and create lasting change. I’ve seen firsthand the difference they’re making through their campaigns and projects, and I feel proud to support an organization that’s driving real, sustainable impact. If you're looking for an organization that is passionate, effective, and truly listens to the communities they serve, ActionAid USA is the one to get behind!

ActionAid USA does important work connecting the dots between issues like climate, gender, and economic justice and connecting progressive movements here in the US with those around the world. As a board member, I’m proud to support this organization!

Actionaid is an effective organization because it understands that many human rights issues are deeply intertwined and therefore calls for an intersectional, highly localized, and inclusive approach to development. I am proud to be a former employee of ActionAid and can’t wait to continue to see it disrupt more systems of injustice.

As a board member of ActionAid USA, I am continually inspired by our unwavering commitment to social justice. Our organization's grassroots approach empowers marginalized communities, fostering sustainable development and resilience. By advocating for equitable policies and partnering with local leaders, we create lasting change and amplify the voices of those most affected by injustice. ActionAid USA's dedication to addressing systemic issues and promoting human rights truly sets us apart as a remarkable nonprofit.

I had the great privilege of consulting with ActionAid USA a few years ago and so got to know this dedicated, passionate and action oriented team. They are laser focused on those they work with and for - their recent work supporting Palestinians in Gaza has kept the issue at the heart of my mind, but their work to ensure the voice and the rights of any who are oppressed or held back has continued even with the ever increasing demands on time, funds and I would imagine sanity. Their regular updates about their work are solid examples of how to tell a story and include facts but not overwhelm or tug at sympathy strings. They treat those they speak about with dignity and respect, and I am sure this ensures that their reader does too. Everyone I met during my time was an amazing steward of their work, and a credit to the organization. I continue to give 2 years after my time supporting them.

Action Aid USA is one of the stellar nonprofits, always keeping the focus on people on the margins across the world front and center of its work. Its ability to elevate the stories from the ground and support their needs with financial resources and informing the American population about systemic injustices is what drew me to Action Aid in the first place. This organization needs visibility and support so they can continue to do their work with passion and efficacy and lift people out of margins..

Thanks.

I worked with ActionAid USA to help their team build its legacy giving program. The team and board are dedicated and interested in offering their donors options and sustaining the organization for the long term. They excelled in the work we did together.

I have been an ActionAid USA donor for many years. Their work is critical and timely. I believe the world would be a better place if ActionAid USA could afford to be even more active than it is.

As an intern of Action Aid USA, I can proudly attest to the organization's unwavering commitment to supporting grassroots movements, activists, and disaster response efforts worldwide. Action Aid USA's dedication to climate, food, gender equality, and human rights shines through its work. It's inspiring to see how they empower women and protect rights in the most challenging situations. This organization's values, reflected in its work environment, demonstrate that a caring society is possible. I am honored to be part of this remarkable team and the ongoing journey towards a fairer and more just world.

I sincerely appreciate Action Aid's steadfast dedication to providing humanitarian aid to underserved countries and groups that are often neglected by other aid organizations. I have been especially impressed by their commitment to providing aid to the people of Gaza throughout this most recent horrific crisis and their ability to have boots on the ground in Syria within 24 hours of the devastating earthquake that took place there earlier this year. Keep up the amazing work!

I attended a fundraiser for this nonprofit in nyc and was blown away by the incredible work they do. ActionAid is amazing because they work directly with communities in need to build a more equitable and sustainable world. Rather than imposing their goals or ideas on communities, ActionAid works directly with communities on what they need. In particular, their mission to work with women and support feminist leadership personally speaks to me as a vital way of building a more just and equitable world. Their work runs the gamut from politics and economics to disaster response because it is all interwoven. They don’t shy away from the difficult issues and the world is a better place because of ActionAid’s work — along with the communities they work with side by side.

My involvement with ActionAid has been profoundly enriching and enlightening. Katherine Coe, an inspiring figure, embodies the organization's values with remarkable intelligence and influence. I am sincerely grateful for the opportunity to have gained valuable insights into ActionAid's impactful work, setting it apart from other global nonprofits in addressing issues of poverty, injustice, and sustainability.

ActionAid USA stays true to its mission of fighting in solidarity with communities on the front lines of poverty and injustice. The staff is smart, savvy, and dedicated, using resources wisely and well in support of climate justice, women's rights, and helping small farmers keep and work their land in sustainable ways. I'm proud and honored to be a board member.

I have observed ActionAid operating effectively as an international network trying to building a more just, equitable, and sustainable world in solidarity with communities on the frontlines of poverty and injustice, showing up and working on the right side of important struggles and crises.

ActionAid USA is a great nonprofit and I feel empowered to advocate and raise my voice on issues.

That international women's rights are front and center for this organization is important because we women do the work and we need help. I am happy to donate to ActionAid USA and their international offices because it's going to take all of us to keep life on Earth alive and healthy.

good work! good folks!

Helping the citizens of this country in many ways, thank you!

I’ve ordered fro Greater Good for years and have always been very pleased with my purchase. Great quality and unusual items Love the free clicks to aid so many different charities.

ActionAid is right there when needed, such as in Ukraine helping refugees.

ActionAid USA are working on the border of Ukraine and Poland helping fleeing Ukranians from the war with basic provisions. Closer to home they are working to help those facing climate disasters. By bringing together like minded people. We can all make a difference but it needs a spark and ActionAid are the spark to set things in motion

I like the cut of Action Aid's jib and am prepared to say this to anyone!

We are truly blessed to have non-profits like ActionAid USA out there doing the hard work that so few are willing to do!

I observed you all at ActionAid USA spend many dedicated hours with your team members. Your efforts and patience led to many great accomplishment. We are very proud and grateful for your hard work.
Well done!!

Excellent USA aid program. The country is fortunate to have such a benevolent organization.

Helps those who are willing to build a better future. Who could ask for more?

Extraordinary goals and execution. A non-profit to follow..

Excellent non profit offering more than hope more people should learn about it

They are helping people in and escaping from Ukraine. In their photos the people being helped seem so happy and grateful.

I joined ActionAid USA’s all-volunteer board, and became a monthly donor, after about 30 years of working in international aid, relief, and journalism. ActionAid USA earned my respect by being lean and effective and by establishing a track record of transparency and accountability to communities that other organizations regard merely as beneficiaries or vaguely as stakeholders.

From refugee camps in Asia to inner cities in Africa and family farms in the USA, it has been inspiring to see ActionAid help communities to advance their own needs and priorities, to be heard in the national and international spaces where decisions affecting their lives are made, and to connect with others around the world who share their struggles for justice and prosperity.

In all this work, ActionAid demonstrates a particular commitment to building women-led grassroots power. This is an expression of its internal ethos of feminism and solidarity. These aren’t people who dole out charity or enlist you in support of (albeit well-intentioned) objectives chosen by someone else. These are people who walk alongside you.

ActionAid is an international network building a just, equitable, and sustainable world in solidarity with communities on the frontlines of poverty and injustice.
They are firmly committed to delivering on this mission, while remaining true to a set of values - among which include equity, justice, humility, integrity, courage of conviction, and mutual respect - which raises the bar on the quality and impact of their work.
They believe in shifting power – towards communities and away from elites.
They challenge the status quo, don't back down from their principles, and walk the walk - no matter how hard that may be.
For the last two years, I have been looking for a Board opportunity that is aligned with both my professional and personal interests and values. Having joined their Board in July 2022, I am pleased, and so proud, to have found that fit with ActionAid USA.

ActionAid USA is a unique voice and force in the international development sector. I admire their commitment to working in solidarity with Global South communities and partnering with local organizations, rather than simply distributing aid and imposing funders' agendas. They have a strong power analysis and are constantly seeking to minimize harm within an inherently imperialist sector—no easy task and all the more needed!

I know this non profit longtime spinge different activities for Human Rights

It is very simple to take action on your petitions that are emailed out. That is very much appreciated.

They do really great work !! Please check 'em out...

Thank you for all your work towards achieving social justice, gender equality, and poverty eradication!

Great cause with projects that focus on a more just world.

I dont have enormous experience with this organization, but have donated with them before. They work on important issues and do good work.

I found ActionAid USA online when I was searching for an on-the-ground organization in Afghanistan to support after the US withdrawal. The more I learned Action Aid and its extraordinary impact in areas of desperate need, the more impressed I was. I immediately sent a donation and also ordered a sweatshirt for our 13 year old, socially conscious granddaughter. ActionAid is a non-profit that does important work and that deserves financial support.

ActionAid AUSA supports grassroots movements and activists in the US and across the world to become agents of their own change and claim for their rights and justice across the fields of climate, food, gender equality and human rights. It supports emergency response in the areas most affected by disasters enabling women led recovery while ensuring their rights are respected and protected in very precarious situations. AAUSA has demonstrated to me that a society having care at the center is possible, starting from the work space and beyond that. I'm proud to be part of this organization and to be part of this struggle for a fair and more just world.

ActionAid does impressive work in strengthening people and their communities so that they can, for themselves, rise against all forms of oppression. In their mission on fighting poverty, ActionAid respects people's dignity and recognizes they have voices of their own. Putting women in the center of their work is the right call to turn changes into legacies and to make sure transformations are shared with these women's environments.

ActionAid USA does great work in a variety of areas that are vital to the survival of humanity.

Thank you for the chances to help around the world.

My family donates to ActionAid USA regularly and considers it one of the best organizations out there doing truly good work to tackle some of the world’s toughest problems. Their commitment to building solid partnerships with communities and people on the ground makes their work unique and the most impactful. We happily support them and their advocacy work and appreciate their commitment to feminist leadership in creating a more just and equitable world.

My family contributes financially to ActionAid USA each month, and we couldn't be prouder or more grateful for the work that AAUSA does around the world. Their federation model, dedication to their mission, accountability, and women-focused, community-based approach is exactly what the world needs to effectively challenge the disastrous status quo imposed by the neo-colonialist industrialised world.

I've worked with several members of the ActionAid USA team in my capacity at the GlobalGiving Foundation, a crowdfunding platform and disaster recovery funder that has partnered with ActionAid USA for more than 12 years. I really admire their commitment to trusting (and funding!) the leadership of local women changemakers around the world who are affected by crisis. ActionAid USA is a deeply trusted partner of GlobalGiving and I'm proud to work alongside their team.

I have been a monthly donor to ActionAid for a number of years. They have made amazing inroads working with women in African nations. Recently they were on the forefront providing aid and support after cyclone Idai. They supplied food, sleeping mats and other essential items reaching 4000 families in Malawi. We have dear friends who run the Malawi Methodist Church there and it means the world to us knowing that ActionAid has a presence there to help in this time of extreme need. I have been pleased to see not only this rescue work but their work over the years across Africa to help elevate the women, and thereby the families of many of these poor nations.

I continue to be impressed with ActionAid's success in support of the Global Agriculture and Food Security Program (GAFSP). Their support of local farmers and the communities where they live around the world is thoughtful and enduring. ActionAid's work goes beyond engaging at the local level. They stand up and encourage governments to uphold their promises of support. They face the agricultural industrial giants to press for long term global action that is, at its best sustainable and prospering, and at its least, does no harm. I have financially supported ActionAid monthly as a donor and will continue to do so as long as I am able.

I very much admire and am a fan of ActionAid: not only do they work on some of the most pressing issues in front of us today - from refugee protection to climate change - but do so in a way that elevates and empowers those amongst us who are often vulnerable and left out of decision making processes. They have formed long standing partnerships with communities and like-minded organizations, working together to address critical topics and highlighting injustices along the way. I would encourage you to support them in any way possible!

I have been proud to support ActionAid USA for many years now, as an organization making real change in communities around the world and one that embodies the notion of putting values into action.

The urgent global crises we face demand the kind of effective, collaborative solutions that are advanced by ActionAid in partnerships with local leaders and communities around the world -- to meet the challenges of climate breakdown, economic injustice, food insecurity, and more. What's more, they understand that to create lasting change we must address the root causes of the threats people face and are leaders in strategic and rights-based policy advocacy to confront those issues.

I am consistently inspired by the work that ActionAid USA does and by the people who propel the organization's success.

I am a regular donor to ActionAid USA for more reasons than I can count, among them: AAUSA truly lives into their values in every action they take, working in partnership with communities, taking a people-first approach in every initiative, empowering women across the globe, and doing so with social justice in all aspects of their purpose.

I am a huge fan of the work and advocacy of ActionAid USA. Over the years, I have worked with them on a number of issue areas, including climate change/climate finance, debt issues, food security/agricultural issues and also on gender equality advocacy. I appreciate their fierce and determined stance to lift up the voices of those most powerless and very often marginalized, in particular local communities, women and Indigenous Peoples, all centered in a core human-rights framing, demanding justice, equity, fairness and decency -- actually all that you see way to little off in today's international governance structures, multilateral processes and at the most powerful international organizations, such as the IFIs.

I love this organization! There are so many orgs working in the international space but these folks are known for "walking the walk" and really putting the people they serve at the forefront. All of their programs reinforce women's and indigenous leadership, and they're great on the environmental front, too. They just really speak truth to power in a big way. Awesome organization.

ActionAid USA is a organization that truly lives its values. They take a community focused rooted approach that puts the rights and dignity of the communities they serve at the forefront of everything they do. ActionAid works to empower movement leaders to solve the biggest challenges in their own communities. Through this approach, they are able to help facilitate sustainable change that centers the most vulnerable people and communities. ActionAid uses funds effectively and with transparency and I highly recommend considering them when making a gift.

As an expert working in international climate change policy for the last five years, I have worked with ActionAid USA on a number of occasions, where their focus on climate justice and supporting vulnerable communities is second-to-none. ActionAid has provided critical insights for my work, helping to center the perspectives and needs of communities on the front-lines of climate change, and clearly translating those needs to actionable policy proposals supported by forceful, effective, and professional advocacy work.

I am always eager for my next opportunity to collaborate with ActionAid USA and under the leadership Executive Director Niranjali Amerasinghe I am certain their work will only become more impactful and relevant in this precarious moment for both the environment and equity around the world.

Action Aid USA (AAUSA) is an organization that truly embodies its mission. AAUSA works on matters of woman’s rights, climate justice, crisis response, and land rights to support positive equity-based change in world. I have been continually impressed by Action Aid’s collaborative approach to supporting and working alongside communities around the world.

The AAUSA’s staff serve as not only ardent stewards of the funds they receive, but also diligent custodians of the trust that their global partners place in the organization. I am to be proud to be a supporter and to be connected to this impactful organization.

Great organization! They work in poor communities to help them find and own permanent solutions to their poverty and they fight bad behavior from governments and corporations that keeps people poor. I really know my money is making a difference with them!
