The Open Society Institute and Soros foundations network website is designed
to provide easy access to Open Society Institute and Soros foundation news,
articles, publications, events, grant information, and more. The site is primarily
organized around "initiatves," which are formal efforts set forth by
OSI to support areas of work on a regional or network-wide-basis. Initiatives
include grantmaking and operating programs, as well as fellowships and scholarships,
and they are categorized in the site by "issue" and "region."
Initiatives can be accessed by pulldowns at the bottom of every page. For more
information, please see the site map.
