Help Us Help Others

Your support makes a huge difference to those leaving Scientology and the Sea Org.

At the Michael J. Rinder Aftermath Foundation, we help survivors of Scientology and the Sea Org by providing guidance and resources as they rebuild their lives. We offer services and programs such as financial support, emergency aid, housing and transportation assistance, career counseling, education grants, peer support groups, and more. In addition, we aim to raise awareness about the abusive practices of Scientology and the detrimental impact it can have on the lives of those inside (and out). We are a survivor-led team focused on a survivor-centered approach.

We’re here for you.

New: The Elder Care Campaign

Your donation to this dedicated campaign will directly fund essential resources for former elder members. These funds will be used to provide secure and stable housing and facilitate reconnections with family and communities they were forced to abandon. We are building a support system that provides not just material needs, but the emotional support and mentorship required to navigate a society that many have not lived in for decades. Your gift of care offers peace of mind to individuals who have spent a lifetime giving everything to an organization that ultimately provided nothing for their future. Together, we can show them that they are not forgotten and that a life of freedom and compassion is possible, no matter their age.

By selecting an amount and completing your donation using the form on this page, you are standing with the Aftermath Foundation to honor the lives of these individuals. As a verified 501(c)(3) public charity, your donation is tax-deductible in the United States.
