About
Since 2008, The U.S. Russia Foundation (USRF) has supported the building blocks of democracy in Russia, including rule of law, freedom of information, and free enterprise.
The Foundation is the legacy organization of the U.S. Russia Investment Fund (TUSRIF), a $329 million 501(c)(4) organization founded by the U.S. Government under the Support for Eastern European Democracy Act of 1989 and the Freedom Support Act of 1992. USRF works in partnership with the U.S. Government through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), which was assigned to oversee congressional appropriations to the Fund.
USRF makes grants in three main lanes, Media & Free Enterprise, Rule of Law, and Civil Society & Expertise.
