A Year In Action
Quarterly challenges to raise funds
for displaced communities.
In 2026, Northern Lights Aid turns 10 years old.
Ten years of action, solidarity, and community.
Thanks to the continued engagement of our supporters, we’ve been able to respond to crucial needs for the past decade.
Without you, none of this would have been possible.
To prove the power of collective action, we are launching A Year in Action, a year-long campaign where anyone can make a real difference.
Divided into quarterly challenges, each topic is designed to be accessible to anyone, with no prior experience needed.
