On Novem­ber 21, the Isocrates Foun­da­tion has informed his grantees and part­ners that the foun­da­tion is, until fur­ther notice, no longer in a posi­tion to process new fund­ing requests. The foun­da­tion will car­ry out the projects it has already com­mit­ted to. All exist­ing part­ner­ship con­tracts will there­fore be hon­ored.
