Proteus Fund

Proteus Fund is a foundation committed to advancing justice through democracy, human rights and peace. We partner with individual donors and foundations to achieve their goals through strategy development, research and fund management. Proteus is known for tailored grant making initiatives that are responsive, have high impact and integrate support for lobbying activity. Our work advances issues at the leading edge of democracy and social change.

Increasingly, the challenges facing our society are complex and reflect a world that is grappling with a new global order and the major events of the recent past. Navigating within this landscape, movements for social justice advance structural change on every level. Efforts to strengthen the political power of each individual address problems within our democracy. Stronger human rights frameworks support the value of each person, and efforts to reduce violence, war and oppression build and sustain democratic values and protect the inherent rights and liberties of people everywhere.

Proteus is founded on the belief that philanthropy has a powerful role to play in this work. We have seen and support the power of collaboration and partnership. When funders work together, when we pool resources and draw on our collective ideas and energy, we grow and sustain the impact of our philanthropy.
