About FICS

FICS’ vision is a world in which people – both collectively and as individuals – have the power to hold their leaders accountable and shape their government, economy and society towards justice, equality and fairness for all.

In order to achieve that goal, FICS defends and expands civic space – the physical, digital, and legal conditions through which progressive movements and their allies organise, participate, and create change. We do this through:

• Thought-leadership: FICS forecasts the trends that shape the future of civic space to ensure that progressive organisations and donors are ahead of the curve, and identify strategic opportunities to disrupt and reform the drivers of closing civic space.
• Building a donor ecosystem: FICS builds support from a community of donors and donor networks in alignment with its analysis, creating a community of learning and practice around what works to defend and expand civic space.
• Incubation: FICS hosts new civic space initiatives to enable donors to mobilise resources collaboratively and at scale around key opportunities to disrupt and transform the drivers of closing civic space. Through these new initiatives FICS will offer civic actors not only grants but support with field-building, technical assistance and building alliances across sectors and movements.

FICS was established in 2016 as a donor affinity group supported by a secretariat of two. We are now entering a period of growth, more than doubling our staff team during 2021 to deliver ambitious new grant-making and research programmes that will enable funders and civil society to collaborate around the systemic issues that drive closing civic space.
