Human Rights Program

• Bolstering activism, movements of nonviolent resistance, inclusive and intersectional movements, and building support against the authoritarian regime;
• Deterring state capture through cooperation with national and international actors;
• Supporting human rights, including the Equality Coalition, with the aim of mobilizing support for vulnerable groups;
• Supporting human rights through the legal aid network and against clientelism in the justice system.

As a result of the Georgian Dream’s unconstitutional and repressive laws, bank accounts of civil society organizations — including the Civil Society Foundation — are currently frozen. Under these same laws, the Foundation is also restricted from receiving additional funding. Consequently, the Foundation’s programs are temporarily unable to review project proposals or issue grants. This important opportunity to support the Georgian people will only become available again if these undemocratic laws are repealed.
