Mission
DSM Mutual Aid (DMMA) provides material and financial assistance to unhoused and housed individuals residing primarily in Polk County, Iowa. Assistance includes the distribution of propane, tents, food, water, household and personal care items, and financial support for bond payments, legal representation and other expenses related to arrest, incarceration and court proceedings. DMMA's activities are guided by principles of mutual aid and community support to address immediate needs and promote stability for individuals facing economic or legal hardship.
Program accomplishments
- CAMP AID FUND - Every week, approximately 80 unhoused individuals in Des Moines, IA (population 204,000) receive essential supplies - including portable propane heaters, propane tanks and exchanges, tents, fire extinguishers, batteries, food, water, and other household and personal items - delivered directly to their encampment sites by a dedicated team of volunteers. DSM Mutual Aid operates entirely through volunteer efforts with no paid staff. Persons Served (Unduplicated Count): 220 - a 26% increase from the 175 individuals served in 2023, and a 132% increase from the 95 individuals served in 2020, the year DSM Mutual Aid began.Expenses $38,910 · grants $36,099
- BAIL FUND - During 2025, DSM Mutual Aid (DMMA) posted $39,600 in bail for five individuals in Polk and Dallas Counties, for a total of $370,000 life-to-date. All bail funds have been returned as of the filing date of this return. However, and for only the second first time in DMMA's history, a $6,000 bond was forfeited when an individual failed to appear at a 2024 court appearance for a bond originally posted in 2023. This forfeiture represents less than 2% of all bonds ever paid by DMMA. Historically, DMMA's primary focus has been posting bail for protesters arrested in Central Iowa - a priority that continues today. In recent years, DMMA has expanded its support to include incarcerated, formerly incarcerated or arrested individuals throughout Central Iowa which are not protest related. This support includes bail, commissary funds, legal and court fees, probation and fine payments, vehicle impoundment fees, and other expenses related to arrest, incarceration and court proceedings.
