Lighthouse does not accept applications directly and instead human rights defenders and organisations should apply directly to member organisations.

The following members have open application:

  • Front Line Defenders: Human rights defenders and organisations at risk can apply for a protection grant from Front Line Defenders here. Applications are open for HRDs and organisations across the world. Please review all criteria before applying.
  • Urgent Action Fund:  Women human rights defenders, LGBTIQ+ rights defenders, and their organisations who are at risk can apply for a protection grant or an opportunity grant from Urgent Action Fund here. There is no geographic restriction. Please review all criteria before applying. 
  • Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Foundation: Human rights defenders, groups and organisations at risk from the South-Mediterranean region can apply for an urgent protection grant here. Groups and organisations facing rapidly deteriorating circumstances, emerging threats, or operating in authoritarian contexts can apply for a standard grant here. Applications are open to human rights defenders from Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Israel, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, Syria, and Tunisia. Applicants are encouraged to review all eligibility criteria prior to applying.
