American Families for Vaccines (AFV), launched last year, was originally founded in 2020 as the SAFE Communities Coalition. Founded by the architects of Maine’s ban on religious exemptions, the rapidly growing organization has 14 state chapters. AFV claims to be a “grassroots advocacy” organization. However, it is heavily funded by the pharmaceutical industry.

American Families for Vaccines(AFV), launched last year, was originally founded in 2020 as the SAFE Communities Coalition. Based in Maine, the rapidly growing organization, registered as a nonprofit, has14 state chapters.
It also has a national profile — in recent months, mainstream media have referenced the group when reporting on vaccine-related issues.
According to AFV’smission statement, the organization works “at the grassroots” to “represent the pro-vaccine majority.”
And according to its “statement of independence,” AFV is not influenced by its funders or outside entities.
However,The New York Timesreported last week that the organization “receives some of its funding from vaccine makers.” And AFV’s website lists several pharmaceutical companies, medical organizations and pharma industry groups as “partners.”
AFV’s fundraising platform is hosted onActBlue, a Democratic Party advocacy website.
