We depend on you to fund the global movement for tribal peoples’ rights. Unlike many charities, we refuse national government funding and do not take money from corporations that could be violating tribal peoples’ rights. Why?
Because relying on your generosity gives us complete independence. It preserves our integrity, ensuring we never adjust our message or work to suit donors.
Survival is politically and financially independent of all government, political, religious or corporate involvement.Where our money comes from
The vast majority of Survival’s funding comes from small, individual donors in over 100 countries.

Where your money goes
Survival’s work is dedicated to changing public opinion – the only effective force which can bring permanent change. The future survival of tribal peoples does not depend on giving them clothes or money; it requires voices to speak up alongside theirs, their land rights upheld, and their human rights respected.
We use your money to work in partnership with tribal peoples, investigate atrocities and present evidence to the UN and other international forums. Your donations allow us to lobby those in power and ensure the issue remains in the media spotlight to shame the multinational corporations and organizations profiting from the theft of tribal land.
