Support the Work

Help build a bridge to safety.

Some people cannot wait for policy to change. Your gift helps us build a real, no-cost landing zone in Portugal for U.S. citizens seeking safety abroad. This is early-stage, high-impact work, and you are part of it.

Why Give

Because safety is not a privilege. It’s a right.

When you give to The Asylum Project, you are not just making a donation. You are standing with people whose lives depend on having somewhere safe to go. People who are fleeing not out of choice, but out of necessity.

Fleeing shouldn’t mean disappearing. We believe in freedom without borders, and dignity without delay.

  • LGBTQ+ individuals deserve safety

    Queer people face rising threats. We are building exits from state-based violence.

  • BIPOC communities deserve protection

    Racial justice is foundational to our mission. We serve those targeted by the systems meant to protect them.

  • Disabled people deserve access to safety

    We are committed to building accessible, affirming sanctuary spaces for everyone we serve.

  • Some people can’t wait

    This is not future work. People are reaching out now. Your gift makes our response possible.

How Your Gift Helps

We are currently raising funds to:

Every dollar is directed toward making sanctuary real for people who need it most.

Secure a safe house in Portugal

Provide legal and logistical support

Connecting people with verified legal resources, immigration referrals, document preparation support, and guidance on the relocation process.

Build trauma-informed systems of care
