Eligibility
Human rights activists and documenters with direct access to evidence or survivor documentation. You must prioritize minimization and safety.
Program code: EHGN-GRANT-SAFEHOUSE-03 | Persona lane: Human Rights Activists | Annual allocation: $350,000 per year | Final awards: 7
The Evidence Safehouse Rights Grant is for human rights activists and documenters who are collecting proof under pressure: surveillance, intimidation, conflict, institutional denial, or censorship.
This lane is built around one rule: survivor safety first, evidence integrity second, publication third. If publication increases harm, publication pauses. If evidence handling endangers people, funding stops.
This lane is not for “awareness.” It is for documented harm that can be proven in public without creating additional victims.
| Milestone | Payment |
|---|---|
| Threat model and documentation plan | $10,000 |
| Primary evidence capture and hashing log | $15,000 |
| Corroboration with second-source validation | $15,000 |
| Publication package and survivor safety plan | $10,000 |
Human rights activists and documenters with direct access to evidence or survivor documentation. You must prioritize minimization and safety.
Confidentiality is mandatory. Publishing pauses if safety plan is incomplete or legal risk is unresolved.
Milestones tied to threat model, evidence capture logs, corroboration, and publication safety plan.
Submit Secure Drop with factual summary, jurisdictions, and evidence types. Avoid names. Avoid sensitive survivor identifiers.
Threat model first, verification second, publication only after safety plan and legal review.
Document authenticity, survivor safety plan, corroboration path, and public-interest weight.
Do not expose survivors. If files contain identifiers, redact before submission.
