Advancing digital rights in Europe

What we do

DFF funds three types of activities: litigation, pre-litigation, and post-litigation. We accept grant applications through regular calls for applications, which are announced on our grants page.

DFF facilitates events and develops resources to support organisations and individuals in pursuing litigation to advance digital rights.

Weaving Liberation is an entity hosted at DFF, founded to take forward the work in the Decolonising Digital Rights Programme.

Our Grantmaking Case Studies

Our Current Community Strengthening & Support Projects

DFF develops resources, organises convenings, meetings and workshops that help to improve the strategic litigation skills of the community of organisations and individuals working on digital rights in Europe.

Our aim is to increase awareness of the potential of the EU Charter of fundamental rights in the defence and protection of digital rights, to conduct capacity building, and to strengthen the knowledge and ability of different stakeholders in enforcing digital rights using strategic litigation.
