Born From Urgency, Sustained by Purpose
Refugee Affairs Action Fund was established in 2005 when a coalition of legal advocates, community organizers, and formerly displaced individuals recognized that charitable services alone couldn't fix a broken system. Real change required political power.
As a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization, we are uniquely positioned to do what traditional charities cannot: lobby legislators, run issue advocacy campaigns, mobilize voters, and hold elected officials accountable.
We are nonpartisan — but we are never neutral. We stand unequivocally on the side of human rights, due process, and the legal protections that America has promised to those who seek safety here.
501(c)(4) Status
Unlimited advocacy and lobbying. We can fight for policy change directly — no restrictions.
Nonpartisan
We work with Republicans, Democrats, and Independents who share our commitment to human rights.
