Dear friend of the Amazon –

Many people want to support Indigenous and forest peoples resisting Amazon destruction, as the environmental and human rights crisis accelerates across the rainforest. How can they know that their support is going directly to frontline leaders and communities?

The Amazon Defenders Fund mobilizes flexible and timely solidarity funds directly into the hands of Indigenous leaders, peoples, and organizations. These funds support their self-determination and solutions for the rainforest.

WATCH THE VIDEO & SUPPORT DEFENDERS!

We work quickly: Our partners reach out to us, and our team works to get unrestricted solidarity grants out as soon as possible, sometimes even the same day, or within hours. These grants fund women-led initiatives, safety for Earth Defenders, Indigenous community organizing and strategizing, and rapid response to crises like fires, floods, and the COVID-19 pandemic.

We have always regranted funds directly to Indigenous peoples, and thanks to your support our capacity to do this has grown. Amazon Watch now devotes a third of our budget to the Amazon Defenders Fund, and in 2022-2023, our solidarity grants to our allies will exceed $2 million!

Will you make a gift today to immediately get funds to Indigenous communities in the Amazon? We've made a video for you about the Amazon Defenders Fund and its impact in action – take a sneak peek here.

P.S. All donations to Amazon Watch up to $225,000 will be matched through December 31, 2022. Please consider making a gift before the clock strikes midnight on the new year!
