Document ActionsFor GranteesGrant Application Information Overview The Fund for Global Human Rights is founded on the belief that securing basic freedoms worldwide requires effective frontline organizations challenging abuse wherever it occurs. Despite their importance, many on-the-ground human rights groups have woefully little access to the financial resources and support that would amplify their voices and increase their impact. The Fund for Global Human Rights was founded by a group of U.S. and Europe-based foundations in 2002 to respond to this funding gap.
The Fund seeks to increase the flow of financial resources to locally-based human rights organizations to strengthen human rights movements in countries around the world. Currently the Fund makes grants to human rights organizations based in the following regions: South Asia (Pakistan, India), West Africa (Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea), the African Great Lakes (Uganda, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo), North Africa (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia), Latin America (Mexico, Guatemala), and Southeast Asia (Thailand, Philippines). We are not funding in any other countries at this time.
Application Information / Request for Proposals
The Fund for Global Human Rights awards grants twice a year:
Current Request for Proposals (2009) In 2009, the Fund for Global Human Rights will not be accepting unsolicited proposals from human rights organizations based in Burundi, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Guinea, India, Liberia, Pakistan, Sierra Leone or Uganda. We will post on our website updated information as to future open calls for proposals in November 2010.
For human rights organizations based in Guatemala, Mexico, Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Philippines and Thailand, please check our website in May 2010 for updated information.
Grants are awarded through a competitive and transparent grants process. The Fund for Global Human Rights operates and accepts proposals in English, French, Spanish, Arabic, and Thai. The Fund’s program officers review every proposal that is submitted. Each year, the Fund for Global Human Rights staff reviews hundreds of proposals, of which the Fund is able to support just a small number. The Board of Directors reviews recommendations made by staff and makes all final grant decisions.
The Fund for Global Human Rights aims to provide funding for human rights organizations over the longer term. To that end, we maintain a long-term focus on specific countries and regions where we believe strategic grant-making can make a difference in advancing human rights protections over time.
