Our Process for Publishing Grants

Each fund has its own grants database, featuring the vast majority of grants that the fund has made throughout its history. We try to balance our commitment to transparency with grantee needs and practical considerations. In rare cases, making a grant public could create safety or privacy risks for grantees, or make their work significantly less effective, especially if they’re operating in sensitive political or legal environments.

We typically publish database entries within a few months of making the grant, though we sometimes wait for a grantee to make their own announcement. Some entries group similar grants together. We may also publish information about contracts we’ve made, especially those for “grant-like” purposes (e.g. producing research that anyone can access).

From 2012 through mid-2025, we produced a page for most grants with a brief summary of the grantee’s work. You can find those summaries here.
