2025 Ariadne Forecast for European Social Change and Human Rights Funders

Abstract

The 2025 Ariadne forecast gives insights into what challenges and opportunities this year might bring for grantees; how funder practices could change; which political events will likely affect funders' work; what will become more important in the months ahead; and – perhaps most importantly – what to feel hopeful about. As we move steadily along into the rest of 2025, this report serves as a useful resource to assist grantees as they prepare to navigate the year ahead
