International Human Rights Funders Group (IHRFG)

International Human Rights Funders Group

The International Human Rights Funders Group (IHRFG) is an association of grantmakers devoted to supporting efforts to achieve the rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the treaties and laws it has generated so that all people may enjoy a truly and fully human existence.

The IHRFG began in 1994 as a group of US foundations with "International Human Rights" programmes that addressed human rights issues in other parts of the world. Reflecting important advances in the field of human rights, the Group no longer treats human rights as a matter "out there" but rather recognises the value of human rights work even in the US. Now IHRFG itself is international, with members in Canada, Europe and the global South.
