Coffee and Conversations: A Morning with the Co-Founders of A Call to Men

Dear Friend,

On Wednesday, September 24 at 11:00 a.m. ET, A Call to Men will host a virtual fundraiser with our co-founders, Tony Porter and Ted Bunch.

A Call to Men’s mission is urgent: to create a world where men and boys are loving and respectful, and all women, girls, and those at the margins are valued and safe. Each year, we provide education and support to tens of thousands of men and boys, equipping them to challenge harmful norms, prevent violence, and embrace healthier manhood.

Our 2024 Impact Report highlights:

• 92 programs across nearly 50 cities, reaching 3,000+ youth and 1,500 adults.
• A Call to Coaches, mobilizing athletes and mentors to promote respect, equity, and mental well-being.
• National campaigns that amplify survivor voices and elevate male allies.
• International partnerships, including our work in The Gambia, a Football Camp collaboration, and the Live Respect Snapshot featuring our youth impact in action.

Your support fuels:

• Trainings and programs that call men in to prevent violence.
• Athlete and influencer engagement to inspire change.
• Expansion into schools, corporations, athletic programs, and communities nationwide.
• Groundbreaking research through State of Masculinity 2025.

Your gift today ensures ACTM continues and accelerates this vital work.
