One possible source is the Arca Foundation. To quote from their
material:

"In the international area, grants support projects in the U.S. that
promote a foreign policy based on respect for human rights, national
sovereignty, and international law. Priority areas include those where
U.S. influence is strong, and where a change in U.S. policy could make
a significant contribution toward democratization and the peaceful
resolution of conflict. In 1989, most grants focused on Central
America, U.S. -- Cuban relations, the Middle East, Southern Africa,
and international human rights."

Grant deadline is April 1st, 1991 and 10/07/91.

Supports travel and seminar series also.

1990 grants averaged $20,000 ($1.5 m total)
Only one application be institution per year will be considered.

I don't know how middle of the road this organization is in practice.
One approach is to ask them to support some of the more expensive
activities that appeal to a wider constituency.

I have materials from a more foundations in my office, I'll send them
along tomarrow if I have time.
