Rapid Response Funds – Lessons learned from supporting Human Rights and Environmental Defenders in Brazil

This publication compiles lessons learned by Casa Fund in supporting human rights and environmental defenders, including data on impacts, results, and articles written by guest experts in the field. From August 2019 to August 2023, Casa Fund provided 264 supports through the Rapid Response Fund, totaling R$3,525,000.00 donated directly to defenders. We hope this publication can inspire other actors in the philanthropy field to engage in protecting the lives of those who defend what belongs to all of us.
