What We Do &
How We Operate

Aegis Safety Alliance has built safety resources, guides and newsroom policies, and delivered trainings, workshops, conference talks, panel moderation and consultations for clients around the world.

We run on a hybrid model we are both a multi-member LLC and a fiscally sponsored project. Everything we receive through fiscal sponsorship goes directly to charitable work i.e. workshops, trainings and resource-building for low-resourced media producers, human rights defenders and journalism-serving organizations. And 35% of profits from our client work through the LLC is reinvested to support those same efforts.
