Buddhist Studies

To advance the academic field of Buddhist Studies and its impact in the world, the Foundation’s grants build and sustain a global learning network that enhances understanding and appreciation of Buddhist insights and values. The majority of the Foundation’s funding is directed through a partnership with the American Council of Learned Societies, which administers a portfolio of grants available to scholars and institutions worldwide on our behalf.
