People and communities around the world have the solutions to social injustice, authoritarianism, and the climate crisis. But repressive governments, corrupt corporations, and armed groups use violence and oppression to silence them.

What we do

We join forces with grassroots activists, community groups, and social movements at risk. Working together, we strengthen their physical safety, digital resilience, and collective wellbeing.
About us
These gifts help ensure that grassroots activists, community groups, and social movements at risk can access holistic security support, free of financial barriers. Your gift can enable us to provide fully-funded support to people in some of the most dangerous and volatile parts of the world.

Your gift can enable us to provide fully-funded physical, digital, and psychological support to people and communities in some of the most dangerous and volatile parts of the world.

Gifts of £1,000 or more - especially when given over multiple years - are critical to sustaining our highly tailored, collaborative approach, enabling us to join forces with grassroots activists, communities, and social movements at risk.

From rapid response to coaching and mentoring, your support helps strengthen their defences, navigate turbulence, and restore resilience in the face of ongoing threats.

These transformational gifts are significant donations that do more than sustain our work - they enable us to innovate, adapt, and scale. 
Across the world, civic space is shrinking. Repressive regimes, corrupt corporations, and organised criminal networks are intensifying efforts to silence dissent, undermine democratic participation, and restrict fundamental rights. Your support helps us pilot new models of care, develop cutting-edge tools and resources, and respond to urgent, unmet needs and surges in demand. If you are interested in making a transformational gift, please contact our philanthropy department at Giving@OpenBriefing.org.
Donor Advised Funds, Bequests, and Legacy Gifts
