Supporting Front-Line Human Rights Activists and organizations

Since its inception in 2008, the Foundation’s Front Line Fund grant program has made nearly 200 small grants to individuals and organizations working on the front lines of human rights struggles around the world. The grants, which average $2,000, have supported everything from the removal of antisemitic and neo-Nazi graffiti in Canada and Germany; to the establishment of educational human rights programs; to localized work on issues such as human trafficking or organ harvesting. In keeping with the Foundation’s focus on “Activist Artists”, the Foundation also supports film and book projects, as well as other human rights-related art initiatives. Front Line Fund grantees are located across the globe, including in the United States, Canada, Germany, India, China, Bangladesh, the Middle East and more.
