Programs & GrantsTransparency and Integrity
The Transparency and Integrity Fund was created to safeguard and strengthen two values at the heart of any democratic system: transparency and integrity. It unites OSI's past support for advocacy on judiciary and media independence, election systems reform, and the politicization of government science policy. It also includes new support for restoring integrity in key executive agencies, revitalizing congressional oversight and addressing the impact of the growing privatization of government functions.
The Transparency and Integrity Fund will use a combination of grantmaking strategies and programmatic initiatives to:
- ensure transparency and effective government oversight, via independent watchdog organizations and media;
- protect the integrity of government institutions, including the judiciary, Congress, key executive agencies and departments, the military, and electoral systems;
- explore the impact of privatization and efforts to delegitimize the role of government.
