The Open Society Foundations runs a searchable database of over 20,000 grants they've given out since 2016. This tool helps organizations and individuals find funding opportunities for projects that build democracy, protect human rights, and create positive social change. You can search by grant amount (from $1 to over $500,000), region (including the United States), and year.
The database shows real examples of funded projects, from supporting youth advocacy groups to promoting digital rights and constitutional law. Most grants go to organizations, but they also offer fellowships for individuals. Recent grants include $1.2 million to Advocates for Youth in the US, $6 million to Access Now for global digital rights work, and funding for legal centers supporting Palestinian rights.
The foundation focuses on making governments more accountable to citizens and building inclusive democracies worldwide. This database is valuable for nonprofits, advocates, and civic organizations looking for funding examples and opportunities. Users can filter results and sign up for updates about new grant opportunities.
