COMMUNITIES
of practice

HRFN hosts communities of practice (CoP) primarily for funders to strategize, challenge themselves, and explore innovative approaches in HRFN’s priority areas.

Communities of Practice are open to all HRFN members. However, we recognize that there may be some exceptional cases where groups that are not funders but are close partners or allies with HRFN and our members can also participate. These exceptions will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Human Rights Defenders & Closing Civic Space (currently open). Join to learn about HRFN’s upcoming salon series on funding in crisis and closing civic space, to share resources with peers, and to be on the leading edge of resourcing for movements in highly restricted contexts.

Additional CoPs will be announced over the coming year.

Fill out this form to join the Human Rights Defenders & Closing Civic Space community of practice.

In addition to these curated spaces, we offer many membership opportunities to engage across human rights issues. Members can propose areas of collaboration. Our events and resources also provide ways to connect with other members and amplify your work. To learn more or to join HRFN, click here.
