The U.S. Human Rights Fund is pleased to announce the release of its Request for Letters of Inquiry for its June 2008 docket.

The Fund invites letters of inquiry for strategic thinking and advocacy campaigns with specific policy objectives, related plans for achieving their success, and the clear use of human rights and/or international law to advance social justice objectives. For this docket, the Fund will only consider projects in the issue areas of immigrant rights and human rights; access to healthcare as a human right; and elimination of life without parole sentencing for children.

The Fund’s June 2008 docket will also include support for regional and national networks and human rights training and education work. Grants for networks and training and education will be awarded via a closed application process, and proposals will be solicited by invitation only.
