ICR's Initiative on Communications, Culture, and Policy, funded by the Ford Foundation

We are funded under The Knowledge, Creativity and Freedom Program, which "works globally to advance achievement in the arts, education and scholarship as well as a positive understanding of sexuality. It also seeks to promote the media and religion as forces for democracy in a range of cultural contexts. This body of work, which is carried out by 28 program staff in two units in New York and overseas, recognizes that knowledge and creativity are central to the richness of people's lives and the progress of communities. It also affirms the importance of freedom to think and act critically, originally and responsibly in facilitating the building of more just and pluralistic societies."

Ms. Becky Lentz is our Program Officer.

Within The Knowledge, Creativity and Freedom Program, we are funded by Media, Arts & Culture.
