Special Initiatives
In addition to grant making through our main program areas, we occasionally undertake major initiatives that reflect elements of all our programs. These Special Initiatives usually require significant funding over a period of years in an effort to make a groundbreaking impact in a particular area.
Many of our Special Initiatives—including GrantCraft and the International Fellowships Program—have evolved into stand-alone organizations.
-
Special Initiative on Agent Orange/Dioxin
Supports efforts to develop practical responses to the continuing human and environmental consequences of Agent Orange/dioxin, to address health needs stemming from toxic herbicides and to promote a dialogue between the United States and Vietnam on the issue.
-
International Fellowships Program
Offers advanced studies to a new generation of leaders in communities outside of the United States that lack access to higher education.
-
