“At CIVICUS, we know that civil society groups, organisations, movements and individual activists around the world constantly face barriers to accessing information on relevant donors and funding opportunities, that?s why we created the Donor Finder!
Donor Finder includes:
List of progressive donors offering funding and non-financial resources to civil society, including small and even informal groups and individual activists.
Simple but complete profiles, organised by geographic region, that will help you identify donors who align with your work and needs.
Annual reviewing and updating to ensure best possible information.
Available in English, French and Spanish.
All featured donors agreed to be listed in this directory. Please check back for updated versions, and email us at if you want to suggest an improvement or recommend a donor we could add to this list.”
