The Public Welfare Foundation supports efforts to ensure fundamental rights and opportunities for people in need. It looks for carefully defined points where our funds can make a difference in bringing about systemic changes that can improve lives. The Public Welfare Foundation focuses on three program areas: 1) Criminal Justice, 2) Juvenile Justice and 3) Workers' Rights. A small number of grants will also be made under the Special Opportunities and President's Discretionary categories.
