Standing Solidarity Fund
The Standing Solidary Fund (SSF) is a body of funds built by supporters of MMA. Its purpose is to reduce MMA and workers’ reliance on ad-hoc fundraisers, which require both time and energy to fulfil – behaving as a financial safety net for workers with especially urgent needs.
Regular and recurring contributions to the SSF help to build up structures of care, allowing us to move beyond constant firefighting, and move toward supporting workers with greater ease and intention. On a broader scale, mutual aid is about solidarity, giving, and wealth redistribution. Regular contribution is one of the most reliable and helpful ways to redistribute wealth, as many of us who are in positions to give also materially benefit from the same systems that consistently fail migrant workers, leading to their precarity.
In our newsletters, we detail how much we have passed on directly to workers for accountability to our contributors. Click here for our archive of newsletters and past SSF disbursals.
If you would like to support MMA, we welcome all one-off and recurring contributions to the SSF. Please find below a QR code for direct PayNow to the SSF, and instructions on how to set up a recurring donation through your preferred bank.
