New York, July 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity is pleased to announce today the first beneficiaries of its inaugural grant-making cycle. The grant-making initiative, launched in October of 2022, identifies and supports organizations whose efforts are grounded by Elie Wiesel's values and the Foundation's mission, and which align to portfolios reflecting Elie Wiesel's legacy: Educator, Activist, Journalist, Student, and Man of Faith. The grant-making program takes a hybrid approach by not only supporting organizations through fiscal sponsorship but also by acting as an active thought partner to champion and elevate each organization's cause.

Key Points: 
  • "Our inaugural Activist Portfolio grants are laser-focused towards advocates working purposefully and urgently towards restoring the rights and dignity of the Uyghur population", said Elisha Wiesel, Chairman of the Foundation.
  • "That is why it is very logical and appropriate that the first grant of the Elie Wiesel Foundation is dedicated to elevating education and Uyghur advocacy efforts."
  • Gratz College, UNCF, and The Elie Wiesel Foundation are committed to jointly facing the challenges of racism and antisemitism.
  • The Elie Wiesel Foundation appreciates the many applicants who took the time and energy to engage with us and intends to open future grant cycles.
