Berkman Center Receives $4 Million From the MacArthur Foundation

The Berkman Center is proud to announce that long-time friend and collaborator, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, has awarded the center a $4 million gift to support the Center's second decade and anchor the Berkman@10 fundraising campaign.

This is the largest gift from a foundation in the Berkman Center's history and we are so grateful to the MacArthur Foundation for their continued generosity.

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. 

We extend a sincere thanks to MacArthur, and look forward to all of the great things to come this year, as we celebrate Berkman@10.
