HRFN does not provide grants and we are not able to connect organizations to specific funders. We know that it can be challenging to raise funds and that human rights activists undertake difficult and sometimes dangerous work. We hope grantseekers find these resources helpful.
This interactive site provides an overview of human rights grantmaking by region, issue, population, and strategy. The findings are based on annual research by Human Rights Funders Network and Candid, in partnership with Ariadne and Prospera.
Discover what funders are most likely to support, learn about their interests and perspectives, and gain the knowledge you need to find additional resources.
