AfriForum, as a trustworthy Afrikaner interest organisation and civil rights watchdog, which forms part of the Solidarity Movement, works to ensure that the basic prerequisites for the continued existence of Afrikaners are met by working outside the workplace on international, national and local level to manage the impact of and influence the current political realities that face Afrikaners, while working simultaneously to establish sustainable structures through which Afrikaners are able to ensure their own future independently. Since AfriForum is a non-profit organisation that places great emphasis on its independence, the organisation receives no financing from the South African government. Income is derived from members who are requested to contribute a monthly members’ fee of their own choice.
