About Us
UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, provides women’s health care and promotes the rights of women around the world. It is the largest international source of such assistance.
AMERICANS FOR UNFPA is dedicated to building American support for the work of UNFPA and to restoring the United States’ moral and financial contribution to the organization.
AMERICANS FOR UNFPA is a non-partisan, 501(c) (3) charitable organization funded by private foundations and individual donors.
The U.S. Committee for UNFPA, now Americans for UNFPA, was founded in 1998. We are the official committee for UNFPA in the United States. We support UNFPA by generating awareness of UNFPA’s work, fundraising for field programs, and advocating for U.S. policies in support of UNFPA, including the release of Congressionally-allocated U.S. funds that have been withheld by the Administration since 2002.
