The Open Society Policy Center is a lobbying group associated with the Open Society philanthropies founded by left-of-center financial billionaire George Soros. Longtime left-of-center political and advocacy operative Stephen Rickard serves as the Center’s executive director.
In 2018, OPSC gave $2 million in grants to left-wing groups for the purpose of advocating against President Donald Trump’s judicial nominations. The grantees included $1,000,000 to Planned Parenthood Action Fund, $150,000 to the Center for American Progress Action Fund, $150,000 to the Committee for a Fair Judiciary, $350,000 to Color of Change (a part of which was designated for voting rights advocacy), $200,000 to the Leadership Conference for Civil and Human Rights (LCCHR), and $100,000 to Maine People’s Alliance.
