We’re currently unable to accept any unsolicited applications for funding.
Empowered Communities:
Migrant, refugee, asylum-seeking and diaspora communities across Europe have increased resources, capital, and leadership capacity to advocate for their rights and shape their own futures.
Connected Ecosystems:
The grassroots migrant justice ecosystem across Europe is increasingly connected, skilled, and resourced, grounded in transnational solidarity and capable of united action that centers migrant justice as part of a broader commitment to social justice.
We prioritise groups across geographic Europe that face barriers to resources due to their location, marginalisation, or ways of organising—particularly those in Southern, Central, and Eastern Europe. Our evaluation for Northern and Western Europe is based on the leadership of migrants, refugees, asylum-seeking and diaspora communities.
Across our grantmaking, we evaluate how fully initiatives meet our criteria:
For our Connected Ecosystems theme, we also require at least one of the following:
We can only fund organisations with non-profit status. Groups can be unregistered, but should be partnered through a fiscal host. If they are selected for funding, we can work together with unregistered groups to find a suitable fiscal solution.
While we recognise and value the importance of the following activities, to make the best use of our limited funds, they are not currently among our priorities.
Our grantmaking is led by an all women* Activist Council with lived or frontline experience of migration and displacement, who bring their collective expertise and experience to decision-making.
Funding decisions are made in consensus whenever possible, and by democratic majority vote if not. Our Activist Council rotates every 2 years, ensuring that diverse perspectives participate over time.

We recognise that sustaining movements requires more than financial aid — it depends on trust, capacity-building, and long-term support.
Through tailored partner accompaniment, we work alongside grantee partners to strengthen a resilient, cross-border migrant justice ecosystem that advances a European democracy rooted in belonging, diversity, and inclusion.
We identify group and place-based needs specific to each grantee partner, and provide practical training, one-on-one coaching, and opportunities for convening and coalition-building.
We aim to act as a bridge that connects civil society, capacity-builders, and social movements, helping to sustain and expand the collective strength of migrant justice efforts across Europe.

get in touchSafe Passage Fund works to transform how migrant-led and grassroots organising across Europe is resourced, recognised, and genuinely supported by engaging across philanthropic spaces, with humanitarian actors, and through civil society networks. We bring migrant and grassroots perspectives into the room, challenge traditional funding models, and advocate for approaches that are flexible, participatory, and grounded in trust.
This work spans a wide range of spaces — from participating in conferences and donor cohorts, publishing articles and online media, to organising in-person gatherings. Across these platforms, we highlight the realities of grassroots organising and share learning from our partners, ensuring that funders and institutions are better equipped to support migrant justice movements in meaningful and lasting ways.
