better preparedness: funding resilience

Funding Resilience responds to the urgent need for new approaches to funding civil society under threat.

In the face of unprecedented, intersecting crises around the world, the initiative brings together funders – from human rights, peace and security, and humanitarian sectors – and social movements to drive significant resources to those on the frontlines of crisis and closing civic space.

Shape the future of funding, from response to resilience. Join the community today.

Better Preparedness is hosted by Human Rights Funders Network (HRFN), in partnership with Peace and Security Funders Group (PSFG).

COORDINATION playbook

Philanthropy is being called on to move resources where civil society is most under threat. The Crisis Coordination Playbook meets this call. Developed through a yearlong codesign process with over 40 foundations and in consultation with social movement partners, the Playbook is ready for action.

Better Preparedness Strategy

Radically improve coordination around crisis through the Better Preparedness Crisis Coordination Playbook and a strong, mobilized community ready to take action.

Build the first-ever field-wide philanthropic infrastructure capable of acting at speed and scale. Learn and iterate in order to shift from crisis-to-crisis models to strategic, long-term global funding strategies across geographies.

Collaborate as an ecosystem to leverage philanthropy’s unique potential to listen to movements, support long-term resilience, and directly reach civil society in contexts where human rights are most heavily restricted.

Drive the transformative shifts needed to change the future of funding for crisis and closed civic spaces. Explore the Crisis Coordination Playbook today.
