This report builds on Funding Freedom’s report from 2022, looking at the new conditions facing movements and philanthropy after a year of Genocide. It looks at the political context of genocide and repression, includes five case studies of organizations who have faced cuts or threatened cuts, and ends with recommendations to funders about navigating the current political moment.

Funding Freedom outlines the increasingly severe attacks on organizations that support Palestinian rights and offers human rights funders a roadmap for creating the conditions to give sustainably, consistently, and without doing harm. This report calls for our philanthropic partners to meet the moment and take an ethical stand on the side of human rights.
