The Stanley Foundation brings fresh voices, original ideas, and lasting solutions to debates on global and regional problems. It is a nonpartisan, private operating foundation that focuses primarily on peace and security issues and advocates principled multilateralism.
From 1980 to 2004 the Stanley Foundation produced Common Ground, a weekly radio program on world affairs. Former Common Ground co-hosts Kristin McHugh and Keith Porter now coproduce documentary projects with Simon Marks of Feature Story News and in association with KQED Public Radio.
The foundation's newest documentary, "Beyond Fear: America's Role in an Uncertain World,' is now available on PRX. The program is hosted by David Brancaccio.
"24/7: The Rise and Influence of Arab Media," the foundation's award-winning documentary was released in April 2006. "Security Check: Confronting Today's Global Threats," the foundation's sixth radio documentary, was released in May 2005 as part of the Public Radio Collaboration "Think Global." The foundation released "UNderFire" in June 2004, "Children of War" in March 2003, "Ten Years After the Soviet Collapse" and "Can This Be Democracy?" in December 2001 on the 10th anniversary of the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the "The Struggle for Iran" in January of 2001 to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the release of the American hostages from Iran.
In spring 2000, the Stanley Foundation partnered with American RadioWorks to produce the two-hour radio documentary Revisiting Vietnam.
