PRIMARY WORK FOCUS IS PRODUCTION OF ORIGINAL RESEARCH FROM SOPHISTICATED POLICY EXPERTS AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING TO PROMULGATE THAT RESEARCH. 980037 THE OPEN SOCIETY PROJECT IS AN INITIATIVE TO MOBILIZE AN INTELLECTUAL AND PRACTICAL DEFENSE OF DEMOCRACY, FREE SOCIETIES, AND OPEN DISCOURSE AGAINST THE ILLIBERALISM OF BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT. WE ALSO HAVE A PARTICULAR INTEREST IN CATALYZING THE RE-EMERGENCE OF A REPUBLICAN PARTY COMMITTED TO CONSTITUTIONAL ORDER, THE RULE OF LAW, FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS, AND POSITIVE GOVERNANCE. THE OPEN SOCIETY PROJECT IS ALSO PURSUING AN ALLIED EFFORT, THROUGH OUR PROJECT ON STATE CAPACITY, TO COUNTER THE DELEGITIMIZATION OF LIBERAL DEMOCRACY THAT STEMS FROM INEFFECTIVE AND INCOMPETENT GOVERNMENT. ITS FOCUS IS ON IDENTIFYING AND ANALYZING THE DRIVERS OF DYSFUNCTIONAL GOVERNMENT AND PROPOSING MORE EFFECTIVE MEANS OF FORMULATING AND EXECUTING POLICY. 794213 THE IMMIGRATION AGENDA BEGINS WITH THE PREMISE THAT LEGAL IMMIGRATION HAS POSITIVE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL BENEFITS TO THE UNITED STATES AND THAT IT EXPANDS THE LIBERTY OF AMERICANS BY ALLOWING THEM TO ASSOCIATE FREELY WITH PEOPLE FROM OTHER NATIONS. THIS PHILOSOPHICAL PERSPECTIVE ANIMATES THE CENTER'S EFFORTS TO MAKE LEGAL IMMIGRATION EASIER FOR PEACEFUL IMMIGRANTS. 1011463 VARIOUS OTHER PROGRAMS INCLUDING POVERTY & WELFARE, CAPTURED ECONOMY AND DIRECT LOBBYING. 1011463 4171784 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false true 40 0 30 true false false false false false false false false X 8 7 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false true true false X JEFFERSON TAYLOR 2028991166 820 1ST ST NE STE 675 WASHINGTON DC 20002 BRINK LINDSEY VP POLICY 40.00 0.00 X 231894 0 20525 DAVID BOOKBINDER CHIEF COUNSE 40.00 0.00 X 227833 0 15050 JEROME TAYLOR FORMER PRESIDENT 40.00 0.00 X X 233964 0 265 KRISTEN DE PENA VP FOR POLIC 40.00 0.00 X 197167 0 5276 DAVID OSBORNE DIRECTOR OF 40.00 0.00 X 185972 0 9794 WILLIAM WILKINSON VP FOR RESEA 40.00 0.00 X 193667 0 0 JOSEPH COON INTERIM PRES 40.00 0.00 X 183787 0 0 JOSEPH MAJKUT DIRECTOR CLI 40.00 0.00 X 167167 0 6667 KODIAK HILL-DAVIS DIR OF GOVT 40.00 0.00 X 155500 0 7163 JEFFERSON TAYLOR VP FINANCE & 40.00 0.00 X 140499 0 12478 LOUISA TAVLAS VP OF COMMUN 40.00 0.00 X 145167 0 7282 MEGAN GIBSON SR STAFF ATT 40.00 0.00 X 125500 0 7332 SAMUEL HAMMOND DIR OF POVER 40.00 0.00 X 114052 0 5960 ELIOT COHEN DIRECTOR 2.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 DANIEL DREZNER DIRECTOR 2.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 JULEANNA GLOVER DIRECTOR 2.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT LITTERMAN DIRECTOR 2.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 RJ LYMAN TREASURER 2.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 CLAUDINE SCHNEIDER DIRECTOR 2.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL SONNENFELDT DIRECTOR 2.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 2302169 97792 15 false true false 418660 4215046 4633706 MISCELLANEOUS 5765 5765 5765 4639471 5765 1594783 1172079 198605 224099 1787010 1694390 11511 81109 161115 128838 22170 10107 264524 226847 16127 21550 47365 5815 41550 333829 319791 14038 50055 36765 12958 332 30056 25513 4061 482 82602 81284 1318 403913 366196 16057 21660 43251 32077 840 10334 22283 15917 3183 3183 31512 30239 1273 DUES & SUBSCRIPTIONS 43947 34794 18 9135 MISCELLANEOUS 1239 1239 4897484 4171784 343709 381991 1290580 2479987 1545000 367000 106734 44582 72854 138101 68776 84906 69325 34296 42684 3106098 3031850 42331 52892 150000 42021 65225 84352 268117 X -436484 -402153 3458230 3165886 3021746 2763733 3106098 3031850 -258013 X false true X true false X 2250588 3529677 4349043 6537027 4633706 21300041 2250588 3529677 4349043 6537027 4633706 21300041 12078636 9221405 6 6 10806 4765 15571 21315618 0.43260 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 30193 30193 4867291 4897484 394874 98719 274021 358539 371066 394874 1398500 2097750 64517 37786 29521 30193 162017 68505 89635 92767 98719 349626 524439 138101 68776 69325 69325 DUE TO AFFILIATE 50242 DEFERRED RENT 14202 ACCRUED LIABILITIES 781 65225 4765471 126000 126000 4639471 4639471 5023484 126000 126000 4897484 4897484 X X X false false false false false false false false false BRINK LINDSEY VP POLICY 231894 20525 252419 DAVID BOOKBINDER CHIEF COUNSEL 227833 15050 242883 JEROME TAYLOR FORMER PRESIDENT 233964 265 234229 KRISTEN DE PENA VP FOR POLICY 197167 5276 202443 DAVID OSBORNE DIRECTOR OF DEVELOP 185972 9794 195766 WILLIAM WILKINSON VP FOR RESEARCH 193667 193667 JOSEPH COON INTERIM PRESIDENT 183787 183787 JOSEPH MAJKUT DIRECTOR CLIMATE POL 167167 6667 173834 KODIAK HILL-DAVIS DIR OF GOVT AFFAIRS 155500 7163 162663 JEFFERSON TAYLOR VP FINANCE & OPS 140499 12478 152977 LOUISA TAVLAS VP OF COMMUNICATIONS 145167 7282 152449 SCHEDULE J, PART III NONTAXABLE COMPENSATION IN PART II IS THE COST OF EMPLOYER PROVIDED HEALTH INSURANCE.
