George Soros’ Foundations Pledge $300M for US Democracy Amid Attacks on Nonprofits
The foundation will spend $20 million this year on litigation, nonprofit defense and corruption tracking as it expands its U.S.-focused strategy.
- On Wednesday, Open Society Foundations pledged $300 million toward initiatives defending democratic rights and economic security in the United States over the next five years.
- The foundation previously poured at least $220 million into a multiracial, multifaith pro-democracy alliance, following a yearslong restructuring under George Soros and major layoffs.
- OSF has already committed $20 million this year for strategic litigation, nonprofit defense, and tracking corruption, with Managing Director Laleh Ispahani emphasizing the strategy links civil rights with economic wellbeing.
- Amid intensified scrutiny from the administration of President Donald Trump, which has accused progressive groups of supporting illegal immigration, a DOJ spokesperson declined to comment on potential inquiries into the foundation.
- Research from Duke University suggests foundation support for democracy activities tripled between 2016 and 2020, as the Ford Foundation and Minnesota-based McKnight Foundation have also increased their democracy-related spending.
