Program Area(s)
Arts and Culture
The goal of this program is to create a stronger and more socially just society by building the field of Art and Social
Justice and amplifying the voices of underrepresented communities. The arts and culture program consists of four
objectives: 1. Art: To support community-based artistic and cultural projects that illuminate social and economic justice
issues; 2. Practice: To support convening and training programs for artists, cultural workers and community members that
impart information and skills that can be used to achieve social change; 3. Communication: To support diverse media and
innovative delivery systems that document and disseminate the work of the field; and 4. Policy: To support public policies
that strengthen artistic and cultural communities and enable creators and their collaborators to create broad alliances in
pursuit of common goals.
Contemplative Practice Program
The goal of this program is to promote innovation in furtherance of the foundation's core values of social, economic and
ecological justice through the development and dissemination of contemplative practices that lead to fresh insights,
creativity and effective collaboration. The foundation program makes a small number of grants each year to explore
contemplative pathways to innovation, creativity and more effective collaboration. For more information visit the
foundation's web site.
Ecological Innovation Program
The goal of this program is to address the challenges of climate change and to promote vibrant and sustainable ecological
systems that support healthy communities and a just economy. The program consists of two objectives: 1. To encourage
the development of broad alliances that advance integrated and sustainable approaches to social, economic and ecological

institutions takes responsibility for the real risks and costs of their activities and become derivers of positive ecological
and social change.

development and implementation of public policies resulting in businesses, government and other institutions taking
responsibility for the real health and social impacts of their activities; and 3. To increase the capacity of healthcare
advocates, healthcare consumers, and other stakeholders to influence public debates, shape public policy, and build
effective alliances.
Jewish Life and Values Program
The goal of this program is to promote tzedek/social justice as a core Jewish value, integral to Jewish life and the creation
of a more just, vibrant, and sustainable society. The program has three objectives: 1. To strengthen the leadership,
capacity, and engagement of Jews, Jewish communities, and Jewish institutions to advance social and economic justice as
a lived Jewish value; 2. To promote interfaith coalitions that address issues of social and economic justice and amplify a
progressive religious voice; and 3. To advance a more just and vibrant Israel by empowering women as agents of social
change; building a cross-sector, values-based environmental movement and supporting efforts in the United States to
promote the peace process.

environmental and energy policies, payable over 2 years.

Public Welfare Foundation's Philanthropy Promise
Twitter
Donor(s)
Charles Edward Marsh
Background
Incorporated in 1947 in TX; reincorporated in 1951 in DE.
Mr. Marsh was an Ohio native who owned a newspaper group, General Newspapers, Inc., and was active in other fields
such as banking, oil, gas, and real estate. He donated three newspapers to the foundation, from which it received income
for its charitable purposes. The papers, The Spartanburg (SC) Herald & Journal, The Tuscaloosa (AL) News, and the
Gadsden (AL) Times, were sold in 1985. The concept of the foundation developed by Mr. Marsh, who died in 1964, and
05/02/13 20/34
perpetuated by its board of trustees, is broad and remains committed to supporting organizations that help people
overcome barriers to full participation in society.
The foundation is a signatory to Philanthropy's Promise, and consequently, will be committing a significant percentage of
their grantmaking dollars to meeting the needs of underserved communities, including the financial support of advocacy
and civic engagement.
Limitations
Giving is limited to the U.S.
No support for international funding.
No funding for individuals, scholarships, direct services, international projects or endowment campaigns.
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 category.
Program Area(s)
Criminal Justice
The U.S. criminal justice system is failing. More than two million people are held in American prisons-the largest inmate
population in the world. The number is growing daily, largely because of federal and state laws prescribing mandatory
minimum sentences, even for non-violent offenders. Most significantly, more than 60 percent of the people in prison are
now racial and ethnic minorities. Locking up increasing numbers of people-disproportionately people of color-at great
expense to taxpayers, and later releasing them with little access to rehabilitation and drug treatment services, has not made
our streets safe. The foundation's Criminal Justice Program supports groups working to end over-incarceration of adult
offenders in America. In particular, the program makes grants to groups that are working to: 1)Reduce incarceration rates
through the reform of sentencing laws and parole and probation systems, including the use of diversion and alternatives to
incarceration; 2)Reduce jail populations through the reform of pretrial detention policies and practices; 3)Develop and
promote innovative strategies to reduce the overrepresentation of racial and ethnic minorities in the criminal justice
process.
Juvenile Justice
Juvenile justice systems nationwide are failing youth, families and communities. Each year, an estimated 400,000
youth-the overwhelming majority of whom are accused of minor and non-violent offenses-are locked up in detention or
correctional facilities. Despite research showing that incarceration leads to high juvenile recidivism rates, as well as poor
education, employment, and health outcomes for youth, systems often fail to use alternatives to incarceration that have
been shown to be more effective at rehabilitating young people. Moreover, an estimated 250,000 youth are tried in the
adult criminal justice system annually, and nearly 10,000 youth are housed in adult jails or prisons on any given night.
These policies ignore the well-established differences between youth and adults, increase recidivism rates, and expose
youth in adult jails and prisons to high rates of sexual abuse and suicide. Youth of color are disproportionately likely to
suffer the harms of these failed policies and practices. The foundation's Juvenile Justice Program supports groups working
to end the criminalization and over-incarceration of youth in the United States. In particular, the program makes grants to
groups that are working to advance systems reforms that will: 1)Reduce youth incarceration rates in the juvenile justice
system (through policies that, for example, limit the use of incarceration, expand the use of community-based alternatives
to incarceration, reduce lengths of stay, and/or decriminalize minor misbehaviors or otherwise divert youth from the
juvenile court system); 2)End the practice of trying, sentencing, and incarcerating youth as adults; and 3)Promote more
fair and equitable treatment of youth of color by the juvenile justice system.
President's Discretionary Fund
The fund offers very small grants to advance the foundation's mission. Relatively few of these grants are given. The
foundation is unable to support unsolicited applications in this program area.
Special Opportunities
05/02/13 21/34
A small number of grants are made under the Special Opportunities category reflecting the foundation's mission and
underlying values, including its longstanding commitment to racial equity and justice. These are one-time only grants that
are especially timely and compelling. At times this kind of grant serves as a laboratory for new ideas. Relatively few of
these grants are given. The foundation is unable to support unsolicited applications in this program area.
Workers' Rights
Work just isn't working for too many in America today. The government agencies charged with protecting workers' health
and safety have abandoned scores of regulatory priorities and scaled back enforcement efforts, leaving millions of workers
under-protected. Millions of people work without such basic rights as paid sick days. Too many who try to organize in
order to negotiate improved working conditions in their workplaces end up fired or find their efforts undermined by
anti-organizing campaigns. Those whose rights are violated sometimes discover they lack meaningful remedies, as they
either must depend on government agencies that may not respond to their problems or face obstacles to exercising their
right to take their cases to court. The foundation's Workers' Rights Program supports groups seeking policy and system
reforms to improve the lives of low-wage working people, with a focus on securing their basic legal rights to safe, healthy,
and fair conditions at work. Specifically, the program makes grants to groups seeking reforms that will do the following:
1)Make Work Safe and Healthy-by preventing illness, injury, and death on the job, and improving workers' compensation;
2)Make Work Pay-by empowering workers to hold low-road employers accountable for wage theft, misclassification, and
contingent work abuse, particularly through policies that create or improve private rights of action and fee-shifting; and
3)Build Workers' Advocacy Power-by improving the ability of low-wage workers to act collectively for policy and system
reform. Additionally, the program supports investigative journalism, national broadcast news coverage, and other
high-profile media and public education about workers' rights issues.

Donor(s)
Mrs. Russell Sage
Background
Incorporated in 1907 in NY.
Founded in 1907 by Mrs. Margaret Olivia Sage in the name of the late Russell Sage, who was a self-made financier who
began work as a grocery boy and horse drover, and who was one of the wealthiest men of his time. A railroad magnate,
former congressman, and moneylender, he made great sums of money in the Civil War on contracts to supply food, naval
stores, and horses to the Union Army. He became known nationally as "The Money King." Upon his death in 1906, he
bequeathed an estate of nearly $80 million to his wife, who in turn donated substantial gifts to the Emma Willard
Seminary, the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and other charitable and educational organizations. Mrs. Sage created the
Russell Sage Foundation for the purpose of social betterment with an initial endowment of $10 million, later
supplemented by a gift of $5 million.
Limitations
No grants for capital or endowment funds, independent ongoing activities of other institutions, scholarships, annual
campaigns, emergency funds, deficit financing, operating budgets, or continuing support; no loans.
The foundation is a private operating foundation devoted exclusively to the conduct and dissemination of research in the
social sciences. Its current programs include research on the causes and consequences of the decline in demand for
low-skilled workers in advanced economies; the adaptation of U.S. immigrants and their children to American society; the
social effects of rising economic inequality, efforts by American institutions to accommodate greater racial and ethnic
diversity; and a variety of smaller special projects and research initiatives. The foundation sponsors a Visiting Scholar
Program in which individual scholars and collaborative groups pursue research and writing projects related to the
foundation's interests at its headquarters in New York City for periods of up to one year. The foundation also provides
support for scholars at other institutions to pursue research projects that advance the foundation's research interests. The
foundation disseminates the resulting research findings through its own book publishing program.
Program Area(s)
Behavioral Economics Roundtable
A forum for advancing the interdisciplinary analysis of economic behavior.
Cultural Contact Program
This research program focuses on investigating how well U.S. institutions are managing to respond to the growing
diversity of the American population.
Future of Work Program
This research program is concerned principally with the causes and consequences of the change in quality of low-wage
work in advanced economies.
Immigration Research Program
05/02/13 26/34
This research program on current U.S. immigration focuses on the entry of immigrant families into the civic and political
life of the country, and on immigrant experiences outside the traditional gateway cities.
Social Inequality Program
A program focused on the social effects of raising economic inequality, with particular attention to the ways in which the
U.S. political and educational systems have responded to growing economic disparities.
The Social Effects of the Grant Recession
A new initiative assessing the effects of the Great Recession on the economic, political and social life of the country.
Visiting Scholars
At its headquarters in New York City, the foundation has established a center where visiting scholars can pursue their
writing and research. The foundation particularly welcomes groups of scholars who wish to collaborate on a specific
project during their residence at Russell Sage. While visiting scholars typically work on projects related to the
foundation's current programs, a number of scholars whose research falls outside the foundation's active programs also
participate.
