Overview

The grantmaking focuses of the CS Fund and Warsh-Mott Legacy revolve around three core areas: Fighting False Solutions, Food Sovereignty, and Rights and Governance. They aim to challenge and provide alternatives to harmful technologies and systems by applying precautionary principles. Their grant support targets emerging technologies like geoengineering, synthetic biology, and nanotechnology due to their potential negative impacts on society and the environment.

The Rights and Governance focus area seeks to support movements and communities striving for justice and equity, emphasizing dissent, open government, the rule of law, and the evolution of international trade rules towards fairness and sustainability.
