About Fund for Global Human Rights
Fund for Global Human Rights (FGHR) was founded in 2002 by a small group of activists and donors with a simple idea: that funding should go directly to people whose rights have been violated, because they are best placed to develop sustainable solutions and push for transformational change. Since then, we’ve delivered over $166 million to human rights activists, organizations, and movements in more than 90 countries.
FGHR is a catalyst for people-powered change. We partner with frontline activists, grassroots movements, and community-led organizations advancing justice, equity, and human rights around the world. Our locally based program staff are deeply rooted in the movements and communities we serve in East Africa, Latin America, North Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and West Asia. By forging long-term, trusted relationships with frontline groups, we're able to deliver long-term flexible funding and strategic support that is uniquely tailored to the complex and rapidly evolving contexts where we work.
FGHR is a workplace grounded in dignity, compassion, and shared purpose. Our culture, anchored by the values of respect, integrity, agility, sustainability, and inclusivity, reflects the world we are working to build.
