Fundraising Resources for Human Rights Defenders
Our friends at the Foundation Center and the International Human Rights Funders Group (IHRFG) have partnered on the first-ever examination of global human rights grantmaking. The goal of the report,
Advancing Human Rights: The State of Global Foundation Grantmaking, is to build the understanding of the current landscape of foundation support for human rights and begin to track changes in its scale, priorities and trends going forward.
You can find this, and many more fundraising resources, in our
Fundraising for Human Rights: Lessons-learned and practical advice conversation summary.
Next Conversation: Powerful Persuasion: Combating Traditional Practices that Violate Human Rights
We are now recruiting practitioners to help lead our online conversation on
Powerful Persuasion: Combating Traditional Practices that Violate Human Rights from
August 19 to 23, 2013.
Traditions and rituals are often supported by strongly held cultural beliefs. The deep roots of traditional cultural practices can make it very difficult to change behaviors that are harmful and violate the human rights of a community or individual. Often, the key to this kind of cultural shift is respectful, patient, community-led persuasion to create movements for change. This conversation is an opportunity for practitioners involved or interested in the power of persuasion tactics to share their experiences, questions, challenges and ideas.
