Collective action in practice
Apatride Network.
A home for a movement.
Apatride Network brings stateless people together to advance their rights. In 2023, it joined the pilot of the Global Statelessness Fund and chose fiscal hosting with OCE so it could focus on its mission without first creating a separate legal organisation.
Receive support
The Global Statelessness Fund, also part of our ecosystem, supports Apatride’s work.
Bring others in
Its own collective page gives the network a place to raise additional contributions from its community.
Put funding to work
The team manages its budget and submits expenses through Open Collective, turning support into action towards its goals.
Is this for us?

Payment processing or currency conversion can also affect the amount available.
