Budgeting for human rights requires a deeper understanding about different budget lines and requirements, including the building up of reserve funds to allow human rights defenders to operate throughout temporary financial instability. While we are busy creating resources that are fully adapted to the needs and challenges of the human rights movement, we share existing resources, albeit from other sectors, for your inspiration.

Philanthropy University has developed an online class to introduce the fundamental skills that you will need to  prepare an operating budget for a nonprofit organization or social  enterprise. You will learn about the different types of budgets, explore operational budget components, compare different processes for  generating financial estimates, and design inclusive processes to  develop an operational budget with your team.
