The Soros foundations network refers to a group of autonomous,
nonprofit organizations founded by George Soros in particular
countries to promote the development of open societies
in those countries. National foundations are located primarily
in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the
former Soviet Union, but also in other parts of the world.
The specific priorities and activities of each foundation
are determined by a local board of directors made up of
distinguished citizens from different ethnic, geographic,
political, and professional backgrounds. Given the diversity
of social, political, and economic conditions in the countries
of the network, programs vary greatly in nature and urgency
from one foundation to another. Yet all of the foundations'
activities share an overarching common mission: to support
the development of an open society.
