The US Human Rights Fund (the Fund), a collaborative fund comprised of nine national and regional donors, is pleased to announce $735,000 in grants to be awarded to eight domestic social justice organizations for their work to promote human rights in the United States.

The Fund provides strategic, field building support to U.S. human rights organizing and advocacy, and seeks to increase overall awareness of and resources for this work amongst its members and other donor partners. In its November 2006 docket, the Fund’s Steering Committee approved multi and single year grants in the areas of strategic communications and human rights legal and advocacy capacity.
