The Open Society Foundations award grants, scholarships, and fellowships throughout the year to organizations and individuals who share Open Society values. We look for grantees who have a vision and whose efforts will lead to lasting social change.
Grants for Organizations
The vast majority of our grants are awarded to organizations. We approach most of these organizations directly, and invite them to submit grant applications or proposals. However, a smaller number of organizational grants are solicited from the public through open calls; you can find a list of those grants by clicking the link below.Organizational Grants Listing
Grants for Individuals
We award a limited number of grants to individuals, primarily through scholarships and fellowships. Individuals may apply for multiple grants at once. Scholarships are awarded to a qualified person to attend or affiliate with an accredited university. Fellowships are awarded to a qualified individual to work on a project in a field aligned with Open Society values over a fixed period of time. https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/grants
