Help reunite families

Not yet. The SAFA Network is a nonprofit organization currently working toward applying for 501(c)(3) status with the IRS. Until that status is approved, donations are not tax-deductible. We’re committed to transparency and will notify all supporters once our tax-exempt status is official.

Your donation goes directly to covering evacuation costs: safe housing, travel, food, visa fees, and case support for SIVs. Each dollar helps close the gap between danger and safety for someone who served the U.S. mission with honor. The support does not stop once they are safely in the US- the government has terminated all aid programs for SIVs and refugees, so any funding left will go to support new arrivals with core expenses such as utilities, housing, and other necessities while they find work.

In some cases, yes. When we feature a specific family or individual—like in our Evacuation Spotlight—you can choose to direct your donation toward that case. Otherwise, donations go into our general Emergency Evacuation Fund, which allows us to respond quickly to the most urgent needs. This flexible support helps us act efficiently while still honoring donor intent whenever possible. Currently we are only taking on once case at a time, as we grow and expand we hope to serve many families and specific case donations will be honored.

All funds we raise go into a general evacuation fund, the funds will be used toward the next most urgent case in line and fundraising will proceed until the minimum amount is reached. As a mission-driven nonprofit working toward 501(c)(3) status, we are committed to using every dollar transparently and in alignment with our purpose: helping SIV families evacuate safely and rebuild their lives. We will always communicate clearly about how donations are allocated and provide updates whenever possible.

Yes, in certain cases. While financial donations are the most flexible and impactful—especially for urgent evacuations—we also accept in-kind donations like gently used household goods, clothing, and furniture to support newly arrived families in the U.S. If you’re interested in donating items, please contact us first so we can confirm current needs and coordinate drop-off or pickup, based on your location.

Yes, when it is safe to do so. We share updates about evacuations and resettlements through our Facebook page and newsletter, while protecting the privacy and security of the individuals involved. Some families allow us to share photos or progress stories, and others prefer to remain anonymous—we always honor their wishes. Our goal is to keep supporters informed and show the real impact of your generosity.
