MacArthur grants Berkman $4M
The Berkman Center has received a $4 million grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation (for four million, we spell out the entire name) to support the Center’s tenth anniversary and beyond.
This is fantastic news. The Berkman Center is part of Harvard Law but relies on the kindness of others for financial support. From the Berkman posting about the MacArthur grant:
Over the past decade, through a series of grants, as well as substantive involvement in the center’s work, MacArthur has been instrumental in the success of numerous Berkman efforts, such as: OpenNet Initiative, the Digital Media Exchange, Digital Natives, Global Voices, and the study of citizen media. These have led to numerous policy changes, two books, and two spin-off organizations — one non-profit, the other for-profit.
Thank you, John D. and Catherine T.!
