THE OPEN SOCIETY FOUNDATIONS WORK TO BUILD VIBRANT AND INCLUSIVE DEMOCRACIES WHOSE GOVERNMENTS ARE ACCOUNTABLE TO THEIR PEOPLE.
Open Society Stands with Ukraine
Russia’s war against Ukraine is an assault on democracy. In response, we launched the Ukraine Democracy Fund — so far raising $45 million alongside partners to protect Ukrainian civil society and support those displaced and affected by the conflict.
HOW WE WORK
Every year, the Open Society Foundations give thousands of grants to groups and individuals who promote our values—through a unique network that is guided by local voices and global expertise.
