Project Title
As a one-time only grant for the Perils and Promise of Democracy
Date

Duration
63 months
Description
Across the globe, anti-democratic movements are growing, often led by charismatic strong men, such as Vladimir Putin, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Rodrigo Duterte, Viktor Orbán and Donald Trump. Nations new to representative government as well as those with deep democratic traditions have fallen victim to this trend. Institutions that are vital to the preservation and strengthening of democracy, such as a free press, an independent judiciary, and public schools, are on the defensive. To respond to these threats, the Graduate Center at the City University of New York (CUNY) will dedicate two years of programming and scholarship to explore the present state and future of democracy. With Corporation support, the Graduate Center will produce a series of lectures, academic conferences, teach-ins, seminars, retreats, and artistic performances and exhibitions that aim to identify the causes and potential solutions to the current crisis of democracy.

Project Title
For support of a digital publication that covers the United Nations
Date
Jun. 09, 2016
Duration
20 months
Description
PassBlue is a digital publication covering the United Nations (UN). The UN’s bureaucracy and size limits its ability to clearly articulate its objectives and happenings. This leads to misunderstanding by politicians, practitioners, and the general public. PassBlue’s goal is to clarify the wide range of the UN’s work in clear, well-written articles and other media formats to a general audience throughout the world. Through this grant, PassBlue aims to continue to increase its readership, social media exposure, and dissemination partnerships, while engaging authors to produce more investigative, exclusive stories, and data-driven articles from the UN operations around the world. This project builds on previous Corporation funding, by strengthening current operations, outreach, and broadening the base of international contributors.
