Currently the Fund makes grants to human rights organizations based in the following countries: Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, India, Pakistan, Mexico, Guatemala, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, Burundi, Thailand, and the Philippines. The Fund aims to provide funding for human rights organizations over the longer term.  To that end, they maintain a long-term focus on specific countries and regions where we believe strategic grant-making can make a difference in advancing human rights protections over time.
 
The Fund encourages applications from organizations that:

• Demonstrate leadership, innovative approaches, and significant long-term potential to have an impact on policy at the local or national level.
• Demonstrate organizational commitment to human rights.
• Whose activities involve and/or are led by the beneficiaries.
• Are interested in building relationships with other human rights organizations.

In all countries, women-led human rights organizations are strongly encouraged to apply.
 
Please refer to the Fund's website for their current position of accepting applications.
