Every year, the Open Society Foundations give grants to a diverse array of groups and individuals who promote our values—through a unique network that is guided by local voices and global expertise.
Over the past three decades, our giving has focused on supporting people who are trying to make their communities fairer, freer, and more harmonious.
Our approach involves focused, time-bound funding interventions, long-term support for partners, and flexible funds to respond to sudden crises.
Our grants—ranging from a few thousand to hundreds of thousands of dollars—are awarded to organizations and individuals in scores of countries around the world.
What we do
The Open Society Foundations are active around the world, using grant giving, research, advocacy, impact investment, and strategic litigation to build a future where everyone can live with rights and dignity.
