Sara Federlein Joins New Tactics Dialog on Fundraising for Human Rights

Join New Tactics and other practitioners for an online dialogue on Fundraising for Human Rights:
Lessons-learned and practical advice from January 18 to 24, 2012.

Protecting and promoting human rights is valuable and important work. In order to do this work, organizations need financial resources. Although there are many funders that recognize the value in financially supporting human rights efforts, many organizations struggle to find enough funding to support their work.

This dialogue is an opportunity to bring together human rights practitioners, fundraisers, funders and others to discuss essential questions around funding human rights work including:

- Where is the money for human rights?

- How can funders collaborate with human rights organizations more effectively?

- What are the components of a sustainable funding strategy for human rights work?
