About us
Who we are
The Human Rights Fund gives grants to progressive groups and organisations which actively promote and defend human rights and seek transformational change. We don’t fund the fashionable and well-endowed, but rather seek to identify where there is real need and where we can make a genuine difference. We typically fund organisations which may be doing unique or unusual work, often in challenging circumstances. We are sympathetic to new and recently-founded organisations and those which have difficulty in raising funds. We are pro-active and do not accept unsolicited applications for funds (which explains why we do not have a website).
Our grant-funding programme focuses on:
- Palestinian rights
- Alternative media
- Violence against women and girls
- Social justice
Equality, diversity and inclusion policy
We are an equal opportunities employer.
