The Open Society Foundations places a high priority on protecting and improving the lives of people in marginalized communities.

The OSF is a private operating and grant-making foundation that aims to shape public policy to promote democratic governance, human rights, and economic, legal and social reform. Through its network of foundations it provides assistance in many countries including Russia, where it supports initiatives in areas such as public health, the teaching of English, educational change, women’s rights, and the advancement of higher education.

The Open Society Foundations work to build vibrant and tolerant democracies whose governments are accountable to their citizens. To achieve this mission, the Foundations seek to shape public policies that assure greater fairness in political, legal, and economic systems and safeguard fundamental rights. On a local level, the Open Society Foundations implement a range of initiatives to advance justice, education, public health, and independent media. At the same time, we build alliances across borders and continents on issues such as corruption and freedom of information.
