Can short-term grants build long-term digital resilience for civil society?
In 2024, 16 organisations received CIVICUS Digital Resiliency Grants of USD 10,000–20,000 over six months to respond to rising digital threats.
✨They were small, short-term grants. But the impact didn’t stay small:
• 72% of training participants adopted stronger digital security practices
• Reported security incidents dropped by 80%
• Legal support helped activists secure release from detention
• Psychological support helped others continue their civic work
• Peer networks are still active months later
🌱 Short-term funding can unlock lasting resilience.
👉 Swipe through to explore the findings and how funders can help it grow and last.
