Open Society Institute
The Open Society Institute works to build vibrant and tolerant democracies whose governments are accountable to their citizens. To achieve its mission, OSI seeks to shape public policies that assure greater fairness in political, legal, and economic systems and safeguard fundamental rights. On a local level, OSI implements a range of initiatives to advance justice, education, public health, and independent media. At the same time, OSI builds alliances across borders and continents on issues such as corruption and freedom of information. OSI places a high priority on protecting and improving the lives of people in marginalized communities.
Chairman George Soros (one of the world's leading philanthropists and the force behind Soros Fund Management) founded OSI in 1993 as an umbrella group for his grant-making foundations, which were established to assist countries in central and eastern Europe make the transition from communist governments to democracies.
