Empowering Change: Open Society Foundations Announces $80M Investment to Foster Inclusive Democracies

The Open Society Foundations is thrilled to announce a significant funding milestone, having raised $80,000,000 to further our mission of building vibrant and inclusive democracies across the globe. This crucial investment will empower us to expand our extensive portfolio of grants and initiatives that champion tolerance, transparency, and open debate. With this new funding, we are poised to intensify our efforts in providing thousands of grants each year to groups and individuals in over 120 countries who are working tirelessly to promote accountability and uphold fundamental rights. This funding will specifically support projects targeting corruption, freedom of information, and reforming political, legal, and economic institutions, ensuring that governments remain accountable to the people they serve. At the heart of our work is a commitment to shape public policies that foster fairer systems and protect marginalized communities, and this capital will help amplify our strategic human rights litigation, impact investing endeavors, and innovative advocacy initiatives. Since our inception by philanthropist George Soros, whose personal contributions have fueled transformative change since 1984, we have been at the forefront of driving positive social impact. This funding round not only propels our ongoing work but also enables us to further incubate groundbreaking ideas and engage directly with governments and policymakers to advance constructive change. As we enter this exciting phase of growth, we remain dedicated to building alliances across borders and ensuring that every grant, project, and partnership reflects our unwavering commitment to fairness, accountability, and human dignity.
