Large award by Thatcher Foundation
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The first major award by the Thatcher Foundation - the body created by the former prime minister to foster her enterprise ideal - will help young businessmen and women from eastern Europe learn from western management and market economies, writes Patricia Wynn Davies.
George Soros - the Hungarian fund manager who made pounds 1bn on Black Wednesday - is among those who will help put Enterprise Europe, the training placement programme awarded pounds 30,000 by the foundation, in touch with candidates for one-month placements in small UK businesses.
Enterprise Europe is seeking to place 10 entrepreneurs from Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Previous awards by the foundation, reputed to have amassed several million pounds, have been small individual ones.
