Over the years, our Equity Fund has supported more than 700 individuals from underrepresented communities to attend the Global Gathering and advance into leadership roles, including fellows from our fellowship program, which is currently paused indefinitely. Our Code of Conduct and implementation processes, security and safety protocols, and equity tools are widely recognized as a benchmark for community-centered, rights-respecting events.

The Equity Fund

What's New?

We are relaunching the Equity Fund in 2026, after a brief pause in 2025.

The fund supports travel, lodging, security, and visa assistance for individuals from at-risk communities or operating in low-resourced environments,  who would not be able to attend otherwise.

How to Apply
