The Economic Justice Program works globally to promote economic systems and practices that build more equitable, sustainable, and democratic societies.
In pursuit of this mission, we make grants to civil society organizations and movements. Through our Soros Economic Development Fund, we invest in businesses that have a positive social impact. We also engage in advocacy to advance our goals, and to provide technical assistance to government in support of both equitable economic governance as well as regulation.
The program was launched in 2019, bringing together the work of Open Society’s former Economic Advancement and Fiscal Governance programs.
Upon completion of an inaugural strategy in 2020, we will be sharing, our specific goals, objectives, and areas of work. Initially, these will include such topics as labor rights and movement building, anticorruption and corporate capture of the state, and combatting climate crisis injustices.
