building on partnerships to change the world

Linked with Colin Greer – USA.

Since 1954, The New World Foundation’s grant making has supported organizations working to strengthen and expand civil rights and the active participation of citizens in American democracy. Our commitment to this work remains firm. Our strategy is to support the building of social movements by supporting organizing, which builds a sustainable mass base of activists in viable organizations. We do this on a range of issues and among constituencies all over the country. Because we give long term support to projects we do not accept uninvited proposals. (Homepage).

Who we are: New World Foundation completed its fifth decade of grant making in the year 2004. As we continue our work, we expect the new millennium to be a time of continuing significant transition for America, a search for new directions, a battle between the past and future, between the politics of fear and hope. We see the strengths of progressive ideals and committed activists, who every day are inventing democracy and extending its boundaries.
