Open Society Justice Initiative Democracy Anchor Grants 2026

The Open Society Justice Initiative Democracy Anchor Grants 2026 offers funding to organizations working on strategic litigation to defend democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. Grants are up to $500,000 over three years and aim to support systemic legal change and broader impact beyond individual cases.

Financial support for litigation, capacity building, opportunities to join a global network of organizations defending democracy, and support for collaboration across legal and advocacy networks.

Organizations must be nonprofit or charitable, have a track record in strategic litigation, and meet additional governance and collaboration criteria.
