How We Ensure Funds Are Used Wisely

The Fund for Global Human Rights is committed to ensuring that our investments are used effectively. Before an organization receives a grant from us, we perform a stringent review of its financial health, capacity, and community reputation. Current grantee partners are reviewed twice a year for these measures, as well as for progress toward strategic goals. If any concern about the misuse of funds or potential corruption arises, we promptly investigate.

All funded groups must meet the requirements of a charitable organization, as defined by United States and United Kingdom law.

How We Manage Risk

Human rights work, with its fundamental aim of shifting power structures, is inherently risky. At the Fund for Global Human Rights, we have decades of experience navigating risk to ensure the safety and security of our community.

Our locally based program staff and grantmaking operations team work to find agile, creative ways to keep resourcing frontline activists and movements while ensuring all standards of due diligence are met. This means we are often trusted by donors to get resources to activists they would otherwise struggle to reach, especially those in difficult political contexts.

Our financial commitments and risk tolerance are regularly reviewed by our Global Board of Directors. This includes a risk register managed by the Board, our UK Trustees, and staff leadership that measures legal, digital, and security factors, as well as efforts to mitigate them. FGHR staff also talk openly with grantee partners about their risk tolerance and what kinds of measures they are taking to ensure security for themselves and their communities.
