Become a Corporate Partner

By partnering with Freedom House, companies can gain valuable insights into political risks, local regulatory environments, and human rights issues that impact their strategy and operations. Businesses can also demonstrate their commitment to democracy and human rights by providing general support to Freedom House’s mission of a world where all are free. Freedom House offers several avenues through which businesses can engage with us, including specialized briefings, leveraging our research, and event sponsorships. 

Specialized briefings

Freedom House welcomes the opportunity to work with companies on topics of mutual interest. Whether you are considering conducting business in a new area of the world or seeking additional information about a region you already operate in, Freedom House experts can partner with you to ensure your business decisions support democracy and human rights. 

Leveraging our Research

Companies use Freedom House’s data and analysis to guide strategic decisions around investments and supply chains, and to conduct due diligence before rolling out new products and policies in emerging markets. Dozens of financial institutions and risk advisory firms partner with Freedom House to license our data for commercial purposes. Supporting Freedom House’s research ensures that we can continue to produce objective, accurate, and critical findings in collaboration with our global expert network. Our ongoing research includes: 

• Freedom in the World – the definitive measure of political rights and civil liberties in 208 countries and territories, with comparative data stretching back more than 50 years. The report covers 25 indicators across 7 categories, including electoral processes, functioning of government, rule of law, and freedom of expression and belief.
• Freedom on the Net – the premier study of global internet freedom. The report assesses 21 indicators across 3 categories—obstacles to access, limits on content, and violations of users’ rights—and contains details on the telecommunications market, regulatory independence, and laws on content and privacy in more than 70 countries.  
• China Dissent Monitor – the only public database in the world tracking protests in China, using a machine-learning algorithm to identify and log instances of dissent before they are scrubbed from the internet by Chinese government censors.
• Special reports and data on the ever-evolving threats to democracy such transnational repression, new government restrictions on anticensorship tools and encryption technology, and authoritarian controls on the freedom of movement. 

Annual Awards Sponsorship

Each year, Freedom House recognizes leaders in the fight for freedom and democracy at our Annual Awards. Corporate sponsorships of this program support Freedom House’s mission. Sponsorship opportunities range from $15,000 to $250,000 and include branding opportunities, prominent seating, and exclusive roundtable invitations. 

Partnership with Freedom House Includes several benefits. 

1. Customized analysis and personalized briefings drawing on Freedom House’s unique expertise on democracy and human rights in 208 countries and territories to help companies develop solutions tailored to their specific business needs. Our partners benefit from Freedom House’s vast datasets and analysis, which document country-level and global trends affecting democracy and human rights around the world. We offer personalized briefings and confidential advice on potential new markets and products, and collaboration on initiatives of mutual interest.
2. Invitations to exclusive events with experts from Freedom House’s unparalleled network of democracy and human rights activists. Freedom House brings together business and civil society voices to discuss topics that impact both groups. 
3. Global recognition. Inclusion in the donor listing for select Freedom House publications, acknowledgement at report launch events, and recognition on Freedom House’s website and other communications channels help demonstrate a company’s commitment to democracy and human rights.
