Where the money goes
- General operating support for open society universities (CEU, Bard, OSUN)
- Independent media, press freedom, and platform accountability
- Democratic governance, anti-authoritarianism, and civil society in Global South
- Global financial architecture, development finance, and economic justice research
- Human rights defenders, refugee and migrant rights, racial justice
- Individual fellowships for artists, filmmakers, and narrative producers
Typical grant
The median grant is $20,000 and half of everything sits between roughly $1,000 and $130,000, so the volume of the portfolio is small and mid-sized checks. The very large money is concentrated in a handful of institutional commitments: Central European University took roughly $70 million across two 2024 grants, Bard College over $16 million, and Media Development Investment Fund $5 million. Repeat giving is normal for core institutions and network partners, with Bard, Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, and Institute of International Education each appearing multiple times in a single year.
Their words
Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.
- “TO PROVIDE GENERAL SUPPORT”
- “OPEN SOCIETIES AND INCLUSIVE DEMOCRACIES”
- “CIVIL SOCIETY GROUPS ADVANCING DEMOCRATIC GOVERNANCE”
- “THE GLOBAL SOUTH”
- “ELECTION INTEGRITY”
- “FISCALLY-SPONSORED PROJECT OF THE GRANTEE”
Positioning adjacent work
- Connect research to global financial architecture reform, the theme funding PERI, ODI, UNDP, and Tax Justice Network at $250K-$350K.
- Ask $150,000 to $350,000 for a research or policy project; above that requires institutional partnership history.
- Frame platform and disinformation work around enforcement of the Digital Services Act and marginalized user protection.
- If unaffiliated or foreign, use a fiscal sponsor like Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, Tides, or Panorama Global.
Worth knowing: New York recipients dominate at 824 of 1,489, and a large share of overseas grants go to London, Berlin, Brussels, and Bangkok organizations rather than US universities. Two institutions, Central European University and Bard College, absorb a substantial fraction of total dollars, so the giving reads as core-network maintenance plus a long tail of general support to aligned advocacy groups, not open competition.
