Funding Futures Festival

HRFN’s Global Conference

29 November – 2 December 2022

Oaxaca, Mexico

Check out our Funding Futures 2022 webpage to see photos, visuals, and reflections celebrating the energy of our gathering.

 

Gather with Human Rights Funders Network (HRFN) to strategize and imagine new possibilities for human rights philanthropy.

Two years into the COVID-19 pandemic, we see clearly that all human rights struggles are deeply interwoven. Climate crises have shown us that the resilience of our communities cannot be separated from the survival of our planet. Movements for justice are charting new, intersectional forms of resistance, even in the face of rising authoritarianism, systemic oppression, and extractive economic models that weaken human rights protections and threaten the survival of our shared planet.

There is an urgency for us as funders to meet, to reflect, and to forge new paths to boldly resource movements around the world.

HRFN’s Funding Future Festival is that space.
