Funding for Projects that Combat Abuse and Violation of Human Rights

by Libby Mahoney

UK-registered charities combating abuse and human rights violations can apply for grants usually between £10,000 and £30,000 through the A B Charitable Trust. The A B Charitable Trust (ABCT) was set up in 1990 and supports unpopular causes that champion human dignity and focus on small and medium-sized charities working close to the ground.

Applications are particularly welcomed from charities working to support:

migrants and refugees
criminal justice and penal reform
human rights, particularly access to justice

The Trust generally makes one-off grants to charities registered and working in the UK with annual incomes of between £150,000 and £1.5m that do not have substantial investments or surpluses. Grants range in size, with most grants awarded being in the range £10,000 to £30,000. ABCT does not normally fund charities with large national or international links.

The next closing date for applications is the 25th October 2024.
