Venezuelan civil society
rescue fund

This emergency fund supports Venezuelan organizations at risk of closure or severe weakening due to political repression, resource constraints, and the ongoing humanitarian crisis. In a country where the civic space is under constant threat, we work to preserve the critical role of civil society in defending human rights, providing essential services, and advocating for dignity and justice. The fund provides urgent, flexible “bridge” financing to allow organizations to continue operating in times of financial or political emergency. It also supports legal and institutional protection, psychosocial and logistical aid to human rights defenders, and ensures that key organizations can retain their staff, maintain their programs, and resist authoritarian pressure. Our goal is to preserve the long-term sustainability and resilience of civil society under siege.
