Soros Foundations Network - International Foundations
International Initiatives within the framework of organizations supported by George Soros
can be divided into the following categories. First, purely international initiatives that
are concerned with topics of interest for the larger world community, for example
migration and landmines. Secondly, initiatives which deal with the arts and education,
like science education and the Documentary Fund. And lastly, there are country-specific
initiatives that deal with a limited geographic area, like Burma and Central Eurasia.
