International Human Rights Funders Group
Description edit
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 U.S. foundations with "International Human Rights" programs 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 recognizes the value of human rights work even in the U.S. Now it is IHRFG itself that is international, with members in Canada, Europe and the global South.
A steering committee, made up of volunteers drawn from IHRFG membership, organizes and provides guidance for IHRFG programs and initiatives. Andrew Park, whose position as coordinator is generously underwritten by Wellspring Advisors, heads the committee.
