What is
ELFA?

The Endangered Language Funders Alliance (ELFA) is a collection of far-sighted leaders in philanthropy, non-governmental organizations, and visionary stakeholders who are dedicated to raising awareness and funds for international language loss. In the dawn of the International Decade of Indigenous Languages (IDIL), ELFA members and attendees uphold that language loss is an imminent world-wide crisis that requires immediate prioritization and support. 

Our Mission

Language is not only the wellspring of culture, art, science, and technology. It is also the root of diversity, human rights, social justice, and economic development. Therefore, ELFA believes that language is the key to engaging with and addressing other critical global issues.

Join us in helping revitalize languages around the globe.

We accomplish more together.
