About
Solidarity, not charity.
Longwing Community Relief is a 501(c)(3) that provides the structure grassroots mutual aid needs to move money quickly, safely, and transparently to communities harmed by forces beyond their control.
Our mission
We believe caring for one another is a form of solidarity, not charity, and that every community is deserving of care.
Our values
What we hold to.
Dignity
We don't publish photos of the people we support without their explicit consent.
Speed over bureaucracy
Money should reach people while it still matters.
Radical transparency
Plain numbers, plain language, no salaries.
Community-led
Projects decide how their work happens on the ground.
Transparency
Our team do not receive salaries for our effort. Fees cover only mandatory state registration costs; everything else goes to the work.
Why “Longwing”
Community gathered, over the long haul.
The zebra longwing is Florida’s state butterfly. Longwings roost together at night, returning to the same shared place, and live unusually long lives for butterflies. We see ourselves in them: community gathered, sustaining each other over the long haul.
