The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation is a private foundation that finances non-profit organizations and select people in approximately 50 countries around the world. It has an endowment of $7.0 billion and provides approximately $260 million annually in grants and impact investments.[1][2] It is based in Chicago, and in 2014 it was the 12th-largest private foundation in the United States.[3]

It has financed activities for more than US$6.8 billion since its first grants in 1978.[4] Its patronage power buys it immense cultural and political influence. It often coordinates its priorities with other deep state foundations, creating a mesh of grants, cross-grants and sub-grants that is very hard to analyze.

MacArthur Fellows Program

The MacArthur Fellows Program, also known as the MacArthur Fellowship is a patronage prize awarded annually by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation typically to between 20 and 30 individuals, working in any field, who have shown "extraordinary originality and dedication in their creative pursuits and a marked capacity for self-direction" and are citizens or residents of the United States.[5]

Financing

The Foundation maintains a database of recent grants.
