Use context_processors. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/ref/settings/#std:setting-TEMPLATES-OPTIONS

settings.py

'OPTIONS': {
        'context_processors': [
            'django.template.context_processors.debug',
            'django.template.context_processors.request',
            'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
            'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
            'myapp.functions.test'
        ],
},

myapp/functions.py

def test(request):
    return {'misc': 'misc'}
