Grants to this Grantee
for support of Lawfare’s congressional coverage  
Brookings, in cooperation with Lawfare, aims to inform public debates on important questions of national security and effective governance through timely expert analysis focused on the health of American democracy. Amid partisanship and echo chambers, both policymakers and the public need objective information and analysis to help make informed opinions and policies that drive a healthier, more representative, and more secure America. This grant maintains editorial independence for the newsroom. (Substrategy: Legislative Branch)
for the advancement of gender equality on activities of the Center for Sustainable Development  
The Brookings Institution conducts in-depth research that leads to new ideas for solving problems facing society at the local, national, and global level. The Center for Sustainable Development at Brookings generates leading research and insights for advancing the development and implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals within and across countries. The center is committed to generating evidence, tools, and policy recommendations that support networked societal leadership for sustainable development. This grant will support the center in advancing a new program on gender and sustainable development. (Strategy: International Women’s Economic Empowerment).
for the Future of Democracy Project  
Today’s hyperpartisan approach to politics is creating gridlock in Congress and division in the public. Political and social institutions are less and less able to function as gatekeepers and guardrails against rogue candidates and anti-social behavior. Extreme polarization makes compromising on differences and sharing the country increasingly difficult. Truth is contested ground. Facts are under attack. In a word, the United States is seeing a mounting crisis of governability. In response to these challenges, the Future of Democracy project will contribute research, writing, and recommendations on improving the governability of American society.
