SUPPORT
Labora – Fund for Decent Work is an initiative that strengthens the autonomous organization, representation, and leadership of workers in debates and decision-making spaces regarding contemporary challenges.
For Labora, decent work for all people, with racial, gender, and climate justice, is a fundamental premise for overcoming the deep inequalities that shape Brazil’s social and economic structure and for strengthening democracy.
We believe that workers’ participation is crucial for urgently adapting to accelerated climate change and achieving a just transition to a low-carbon economy that leaves no one behind.
Created, implemented, and operated by the Brazil Human Rights Fund, Labora emerged from a collective effort initiated by the Laudes Foundation in Brazil, with participation from the Ford Foundation and Open Society Foundations. The three foundations are partners in the initiative and contribute to the governance board.
Funding opportunities for organizations and groups fighting for decent work
MIPA (in portuguese, mobilization, advocacy, participation and networking) is a complementary grant available exclusively to groups, collectives, unions, and organizations supported by Labora throughout the duration of their funded projects.
