This report builds on Funding Freedom’s report from 2022, looking at the new conditions facing movements and philanthropy after a year of Genocide. It looks at the political context of genocide and repression, includes five case studies of organizations who have faced cuts or threatened cuts, and ends with recommendations to funders about navigating the current political moment.

Funding Freedom Co-Directors Soheir Asaad and Rebecca Vilkomerson host special guests Loan Tran of the Rising Majority, Vince Warren of Center for Constitutional Rights, Iman Hammouri of Popular Arts Centre (Palestine) and Leena Barakat of Women Donors Network in discussion of Funding Freedom’s new report Repression, Retrenchment, and Resilience: Philanthropy and Palestinian Liberation After a Year of Genocide.

In November 2022, Solidaire Action Network published “Funding Freedom: Philanthropy and the Palestinian Freedom Movement.” The report is the first comprehensive look at the barriers to healthy and sustainable funding for organizations that support Palestinain rights, as well as proposed tools and strategies to address them. It offers funders a roadmap for creating the conditions to give sustainably, consistently, and without doing harm. The Funding Freedom project was born from this report.

In January ad February of 2024, Funding Freedom held a series of webinars on aspects of Palestinian reality before October 7th. The summary booklet includes link to all the presentation and supplementl materials
