Since the foundation was established in 1936, we have been working to improve people’s lives and address social justice issues across the United States. Our grantees today follow in the footsteps of those who blazed trails in civil rights, women’s rights, education reform, public interest media, diversity in the arts and voter engagement.
With nearly 60 percent of our grant budget focused on the United States, our grantees continue to engage in forward-looking work—government accountability and transparency, racial justice and minority rights, next-generation workforce strategies, affordable homeownership, access to education, reproductive rights and media access and rights.
What We’re Doing
Our U.S. work is carried out through three strategic programs: Democracy, Rights and Justice; Economic Opportunity and Assets; and Education, Creativity and Free Expression. To learn more about the initiatives within these programs, or to apply for a grant, visit the Issues section of our Web site.
