# Open Society Foundations #  The Open Society Foundations champions the search for bold, democratic solutions to our urgent, common challenges that advance justice, equity, and human dignity. We do this by supporting a wide array of independent voices and organizations around the world that provide a creative and dynamic link between the governing and the governed. Our approach seeks to counter the narrow pursuit of political self-interest and short-term opportunism in pursuit of a sustainable future for people and planet that leaves no one behind.
