Dear John,

For 84 years, Freedom House has stood with human rights defenders and civil society activists in their efforts to advance freedom and democracy around the world. To sustain this mission and answer the growing threats to global freedom today, I'm reaching out to ask that you consider including Freedom House in your Giving Tuesday and year-end giving priorities.

Your support before December 31 will help us meet our funding goals, strengthen our foundation for 2026, and ensure that we are prepared for the many challenges ahead.

We have outlined below several ways that your support can make an impact:

Make a donation of general support, which will go toward the most immediate needs of the organization and our ongoing core projects.
Contribute to a special project, such as
- The Michael J. Abramowitz Fund for Freedom in the World, which will help ensure the vitality of our flagship report assessing political rights and civil liberties in every country around the world since 1973;
- The China Dissent Monitor, a uniquely valuable public resource that documents and analyzes acts of dissent across China, evidence of which might otherwise be lost to censorship; or
- The Fred Hiatt Fund to Free Political Prisoners, which is dedicated to securing the release of political prisoners and supporting their families.
Become a Freedom House Democracy Defender and stand alongside other committed Freedom House contributors in their determination to shine a light on threats to freedom and democracy and assist frontline activists. You will see the impact of your donations through special updates about the fight for freedom and invitations to exclusive briefings on Freedom House's analytical reports and current events.
Become a corporate partner and use your position of economic leadership to reinforce democracy, the rule of law, and other cornerstones of global freedom and prosperity.

Freedom House is a private, nonprofit, nonpartisan 501(c)(3) organization [EIN: 13-1656647]. Your gift is tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. Many supporters also maximize their impact through corporate matching gifts, gifts of stock, IRA rollovers, and contributions made through donor-advised funds. You can explore even more ways to give here.
