Carnegie Corporation of New York is a grantmaking foundation established in 1911 by Andrew Carnegie. Based in New York City, New York, it seeks to reduce political polarization by funding work in education, democracy, and peace. As a nonprofit organization with a focused grantmaking staff, it supports initiatives and partnerships that advance knowledge and understanding. Recent activity illustrates its approach, with grants supporting educational and civic projects such as Utah Valley University's Strengthening Youth Civic Engagement in Utah and the Edward M. Kennedy Institute. It has also funded the Sandra Day O’Connor Institute, the Partnership for Los Angeles Schools, and the Urban Libraries Council to promote civic education and constructive public discourse. These efforts align with Carnegie’s stated emphasis on education, democracy, and peaceful civic engagement as a means to reduce polarization.
