Key Findings

Foundation Funding by Issue

Issue totals include foundation funding that could be identified as meant to address a specific issue. In order to provide unique totals and avoid double-counting, each foundation grant has been assigned to exactly one issue category within the human rights taxonomy.

Foundation Funding by Population

Population totals include foundation funding that could be identified as meant to benefit a specific group. Grants may serve multiple populations and would therefore be counted in more than one category.

Sample Grants

  • Global Fund for Children
    Sociedad Dominico-Haitiana de Apoyo Integral para el Desarrollo y la Salud (Dominican Republic)
    For the Right to a Name and Nationality program, which campaigns for the legal recognition of the Dominican nationality of Dominican-born Haitian children to allow these children to attend school and gain access to other social services.
  • American Jewish World Service
    Groupe d'Appui aux Rapatries et aux Refugies (Haiti)
    To promote and defend the rights of earthquake-affected internally displaced persons and Haitian migrants living in the Dominican Republic through monitoring, advocacy, and legal assistance.
