International Human Rights Funders Group

The International Human Rights Funders Group (IHRFG) is a global network of grantmakers and philanthropists committed to advancing human rights around the world. Our aims are to improve the strategic effectiveness of funding for human rights; to expand the extent to which funders across a range of issue areas incorporate a human rights framework into their grantmaking; to strengthen linkages among human rights funders within the US and around the globe; and, ultimately, to increase overall funding for human rights. IHRFG emphasizes peer leadership among its members, and organizes its work around three primary programmatic strategies: education and convening, outreach and communications, and policy and research. PIP serves as fiscal sponsor to IHRFG, which is closely aligned with PIP’s overall mission. For more information about the International Human Rights Funders Group, visit IHRFG’s website.
