Matching Donation Challenge (Griffin)

Join in supporting Freedom Speakers International (FSI), an organization dedicated to empowering North Korean refugees to share their stories and build new lives in freedom.

Freedom Speakers International provides vital, tuition-free English language and public speaking training to North Korean refugees. In South Korea, English proficiency is often a critical key to unlocking educational and professional opportunities. FSI goes beyond language skills; they provide one-on-one mentorship and a supportive community, empowering refugees to find their own voices and become advocates for change.

Through their speech contests, workshops, and publications, FSI provides a platform for North Korean refugees to share their powerful stories with the world. These are incredible stories that deserve to reach the widest audience possible. Please support!

Thanks to a generous South Korean donor, Freedom Speakers International is running a Matching Challenge to empower North Korean refugees.

From June 22 to August 3, forty supporters of FSI set up donations in response. The donor has pledged to donate $100 for every fundraiser set up — up to 40 fundraisers total. Additionally, an American donor has secretly donated $20 to each fundraiser.

At FSI, we empower North Korean refugees through education and public speaking. Many are now giving speeches around the world, writing books, and telling their stories in English for the first time.

Our Korean donor has pledged to continue this Matching Challenge. He is inspired by the people who support FSI.

By starting or supporting a fundraiser, you’re helping them continue that journey.
Even if you don’t raise any money, just setting one up helps us unlock more support.

Set up your fundraiser. Show your support.
Together, we can amplify voices that were once silenced.
