Passion Projects :
Accelerating Human Rights by advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals across the Globe
As a consortium, a critical part of IHRC’s work is identifying those individuals or organizations who are interested in sharing our mission of advancing Human Rights with a passion project of their own, but who may not be ready to incorporate and operate as an independent 501(c)(3). IHRC is happy to explore establishing a fiscal sponsorship agreement with those organizations who are aligned with our Human Rights and sustainable development mission, are apolitical, and are not targeted to a specific faith community.
We encourage organizations who have a project in mind to reach out via email to jan.robinson@internationalhumanrightsconsortium.org. We welcome the opportunity to talk with you about how we might partner to help you accomplish your project.
