Description
The Human Dignity Fund, administered by Atlas Network, provides support to partner organizations worldwide that are developing innovative, dignity-based approaches to poverty alleviation and the strengthening of liberal democratic institutions. The fund emphasizes a bottom-up strategy, empowering think tanks and civil society groups to act as catalysts for policy reforms that advance human dignity and freedom. Projects should clearly demonstrate how they promote human dignity, broaden the understanding of individual freedom as essential to prosperity, and lead to tangible institutional or policy change. Suggested project areas include securing property rights, improving legal access and justice, enabling limited government regulatory solutions, and fostering public appreciation for human dignity and liberty.
