Our Partners & the Collaboratives we Serve

Founding Partners - Peace and Security Collaborative
ReThink Media was founded with the lead support of the Ploughshares Fund, the Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the Colombe Foundation investing in building the media and communications capacity of think tanks, advocacy organizations and experts working toward a more multilateral and constructive US foreign policy. In addition to these lead grants, ReThink Media's work with the peace and security community has grown to be supported by the Connect US fund, the Carnegie Corporation of New York and by the Hewlett Foundation.

Founding Partners - Security & Rights Collaborative
In 2009 the National Security & Human Rights (NSHR) Fund partnered with ReThink Media to launch a new media and communications capacity building initiative to support the work of organizations working in the national security and human rights field in particular focussing on restoring respect for civil liberties, human rights, and the rule of law to U.S. national security policies. The NSHR  Fund was made possible with the support of The Atlantic Philanthropies, the Oak Foundation, the Open Society Foundations, the Stewart R. Mott 7007 Fund and others. In 2011 the Fund changed its name to the Security & Rights Collaborative.

Founding Partners – Money in Politics and Fair Courts Collaborative
In 2013 the Piper Fund partnered with ReThink Media to invest resources providing
tools, technologies and strategic communications support to advocacy organizations
working to preserve democracy by curbing the influx of money in politics and
ensuring an independent judiciary free of outside influence. As public outrage at the
unchecked influence a handful of anonymous donors have over our political system
in the wake of the Citizens United and Speech Now decisions by the U.S. Supreme
Court, followed by the most expensive elections in history, the project seeks to
strengthen the capacity of organizations and broaden the movement for reform to
help channel the outrage into action.
