The Marc Sanders Foundation funds ambitious initiatives in public outreach and engagement, from philosophy in K-12 classrooms, philosophy prison, to philosophy in the media. See the programs that we are funding below.
Philosophy in the Media is aimed at bringing high-quality philosophy to the general public by increasing the presence of philosophy in print, audio, and video media.
The NHSEB is a national program that has over 4000 high school students thinking carefully, together, about real life moral issues.
The UCSC Center for Public Philosophy aims to make philosophy relevant to the broader community both by engaging the public directly in philosophical activities and by applying insights from philosophy to urgent problems of current public concern.
The Marc Sanders Foundation awards biennial essay prizes for early-career scholars in many core areas of philosophy, administered by some of the most distinguished philosophers in the world. The Foundation, in collaboration with the APA, also funds annual graduate student prizes.
The Marc Sanders Foundation has partnered with the Eastern Division of the APA to establish three annual APA graduate student prizes for the best papers in mind, metaphysics, epistemology or ethics.
The Sanders Essay Prizes are seven biennial prizes awarded to essays that excel in the fields of early modern philosophy, epistemology, metaethics, metaphysics, political philosophy, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of religion.
