Academic Mutual Aid Foundation

We facilitate mutual aid among students and academic workers, to alleviate their financial precarity and build resilient, caring communities.

[Academic Mutual Aid Foundation @academic_aid]

Are you a student or an academic worker? Would $50 help you through a crisis? If so, please apply for aid. Do you want to support this project? Please donate! Our model for helping people is not complicated. 100% of your donation goes directly to people in need.

[Academic Mutual Aid Foundation @academic_aid]

Our merch store is open! Get some stickers, clothing, mugs, or phone cases while supporting our cause and providing aid to students in need!

We are a group of UC Davis students committed to helping our students and staff maintain financial stability in times of need through micro-grants funded by the community. Stay tuned for info on how to donate and request aid soon!

Please read the full post, donate, and share. Donations have slowed, and we are behind in fundraising. Please donate as much as you can. We are trying to help students struggling to afford basic necessities and cost of attendance.

If you’d like to help us fundraise for students! DM us. We appreciate and love all of you 🥺💖

Feeling it right now. It is very lonely to try to change things in academia.

We need to build resilient student communities so that they don't need to feel afraid to check their bank accounts! Help us do that! (We can't help with your final grades though 😄)

What’s scarier checking your final grades or your bank account

One of the best ways to #GetInvolved with us is to start an AMAF chapter at your school. Join our organization to help provide #MutualAid to those in need in your community! Contact us to get started!

I am once again asking @Columbia & President Bollinger to give graduate workers the fair contract they deserve. It’s past time. #CUonStrike

Winter @RosettaCon, our third virtual meeting in the @RosettaCommons, as usual has shared amazing science and fostered many collaborative discussions. Posters, roundtable, and this group photo all done in @GatherTown.

[Academic Mutual Aid Foundation @academic_aid]

We're in the process of setting up a merch store (you probably don't have enough coffee mugs or sweatshirts), and you'll get a discount there.

You'll also get our newsletter, and the opportunity to give your feedback on our outreach strategy.

[Academic Mutual Aid Foundation @academic_aid]

Become a monthly supporter of AMAF -- we are now offering "membership" starting at $5/month.

Monthly small-dollar support will be critical to our success going forward.

Sign up and we'll send you some cool (maybe?) stickers!

We haven't been tweeting a lot lately -- instead, we've been focused on building our organization from the inside. We'll have a lot to discuss about our first year of #MutualAid work at WinterRosettaCON!

School textbook prices -- often bundled with course-mandatory software -- are an absurd rip-off in almost every case. Are there programs to help with textbook expenses at your school?
