Human Rights Organizations

NAICS 813311 · Religious, Grantmaking, Civic, Professional and Similar Organizations · SBA size standard: $34 million average annual receipts

Human rights organizations research abuses, run campaigns, support victims, advocate with officials and foundations, and file reports. For a group that tracks cases, coordinates field updates, prepares grant reports and maintains advocacy calendars, the specialists turn incoming tips and partner messages into verified case files, turn case volume into weekly campaign and research plans, and turn plans into grant proposals, official submissions and donor reports. Policy positions, legal review and victim consent stay with the director and legal counsel.
