PROGRAM APPROVALS

The Foundation's philanthropic work addresses problems and issues in the United States and abroad, with much of the overseas activity taking place in developing countries. Grants are made primarily within seven broad categories: Urban Poverty, Rural Poverty and Resources, Rights and Social Justice, Governance and Public Policy, Education and Culture, International Affairs, and Reproductive Health and Population. The Foundation also funds projects using film, television, and radio to explore public policy issues. In addition, the Foundation uses a limited portion of its capital funds to make program-related investments in enterprises that will advance philanthropic purposes.
