Where Your Values Meet Unmatched Impact: Top Reasons Why Your Gift to AHA Stands Out

Published 12/9/2024

When you support AHA Foundation, you’re standing with our founder, Ayaan Hirsi Ali—an FGM survivor, renowned human rights activist, and tireless advocate for women and girls. She is celebrated for her unwavering defense of liberal freedoms and her relentless fight against radical ideologies. Despite facing death threats for decades, Ayaan chose a life of courage over conformity.

Inspired by Ayaan’s vision, we are not only continuing our impactful women’s rights programs but also expanding our efforts to combat the rising threats of antisemitism and illiberalism in today’s world.

What Your Support Achieves

Your generosity fuels distinguished, life-saving programs driven by a small but mighty team guided by unwavering values. Here’s how we make a difference together:

  • For the past 17 years, we have led the fight against FGM in the U.S. As the only nonprofit tackling child marriage, FGM, and honor violence together, we are at the forefront of defending women’s rights against harmful cultural practices in the U.S.
  • Our anti-FGM initiatives are data-driven and guided by the experiences of survivors. Our groundbreaking research on FGM in the U.S. has been recognized and praised by the Department of Justice for its groundbreaking impact. By building strong relationships with communities, we help ensure that the changes we create are sustainable.
  • We’ve trained more frontline professionals than any other non-governmental organization in the U.S., receiving endorsements from the American Medical Association, American Bar Association, and American Association of Nurse Practitioners.
  • Our advocacy and policy expertise have led to dozens of legislative victories at both the state and federal levels.
  • As a non-partisan organization, we unite people from all backgrounds who believe in democracy, equality, and justice. We amplify the voices of dissidents and collaborate with internationally recognized free speech advocates and activists, many of whom risk their lives for their beliefs.
  • We are a small but mighty team. Our partners are often amazed by how much we accomplish with a lean staff.
  • We have ambitious plans for 2025 and need your support to make them into a reality. When you give now, you help unlock $20,000 in matching funds from our generous donors. Your gift, no matter how small, goes even further.

 

In a world growing increasingly polarized, your support helps us restore the foundational values of Liberalism that make our communities, institutions, and society exceptional. 

Your year-end gift supports our distinguished approach and unwavering values. Please give now.
