The Open Society Foundations' office in the Middle East and North Africa provided the students of the MA Programme in Democracy and Human RIghts with stipends under the programme "Connecting Theory to Practice" that was run under the Dignity Intiative (currently hosted at Muwatin), and through inviting Muwatin to be part of the Open Society Internships in Rights and Gevernance. Later the OSF made a grant for institutional support to Muwatin.
