Fund For Global Human Rights UK backs grassroots human rights defenders with flexible funding and hands-on strategic support, with a strong emphasis on activism that can shift power, laws, and public accountability. Its recent programs show a clear tilt toward legal empowerment, youth-led climate justice in Africa, and disability justice in Uganda, especially where communities are organizing to know, use, and shape the law. The fund is distinctive for using targeted calls and participatory grantmaking rather than broad, generalist philanthropy.
Provides flexible, often strategic capacity-building support through targeted programs, partnerships, and invite-only or expression-of-interest calls. Grants appear to be relatively small to moderate for movement-building and participatory initiatives, with an emphasis on accompaniment rather than one-off project funding.
Watch for targeted calls and partnership-based opportunities rather than a general open application portal. Applicants should demonstrate grassroots credibility, clear rights-based outcomes, and a strong fit with current priorities such as legal empowerment, youth activism, or disability justice; participatory or community-led models are especially aligned.
