Soros foundations
are autonomous institutions established
in particular countries or regions to initiate
and support open society activities. The
priorities and specific activities of each
Soros foundation are determined by a local
board of directors and staff in consultation
with George Soros and OSI boards and advisors.
In addition to support from the Open Society
Institute, many of the foundations receive
funding from other sources.
Soros foundations consist
of national foundations in 29 countries,
foundations in Kosovo and Montenegro, and
two regional foundations, the Open Society
Initiative for Southern Africa (OSISA) and
the Open Society Initiative for West Africa
(OSIWA). OSISA and OSIWA, which are governed
by their own boards of directors and staffs
from the region, make grants in a total
of 27 African countries.
