OSF Prague began its existence as a very small office aiming to secure participation for what was then Czechoslovakia in the international programs of the Soros foundations in Central and Eastern Europe. Due to various circumstances the Foundation initially lacked the favorable conditions required for its own development, but the situation gradually changed, and today the foundation supports an entire series of programs and activities, the common goal of which is the development of an open society in Czech Republic. OSF Prague is a part of the international network of Soros foundations in Central and Eastern Europe working together in many regions. George Soros is founder of the Open Society Fund New York, and of the network of foundations throughout Central and Eastern Europe. In 1996 the financial expenditure on OSF Prague programs was an approximate 55 million CZK (2 million USD) for Educational Programs, Arts and Culture, and Civil Society.
