you have a place at dhfa.

DHFA is humbled to be an inclusive space for all women, the LGBTQ+ community and all black, indigenous and other people of color who may need a space of kindness and support.

We are devoted to the cause of treating all human beings equitably, kindly, and fairly - not just within the walls of our organization, but outside as well.

If you are neurodiverse, you are home.

If you’ve always felt you spoke a different language than anyone else, or didn’t know if you’d fit in, you do here. DHFA has a neurodiverse leadership, with two of the founders even being on the autistic spectrum.

We understand your struggles - everyone at DHFA, from autistic to allistic, speaks with kindness and clarity with one another. You aren’t just welcome - you are embraced.

DHFA offers scholarship memberships to those who qualify.

We don’t ask any questions - as long as you’re honest about a legitimate financial need, we strive to provide those who have the drive to become a fencer an opportunity that fits their needs.
