Non-profit Social Justice
Event Summary

Open Society Foundations, founded by George Soros and now led by Alexander Soros, has pledged $30 million over three years to groups fighting antisemitism and anti-Muslim hate. This initiative aims to strengthen interfaith partnerships and protect communities facing heightened threats, particularly in response to rising hate levels coinciding with the Israel-Hamas war and the Iran war. The announcement follows reports of the United States — United States Department of Justice considering charges against Open Society Foundations, which the foundation denies. Recipients of the funding include the Jewish Social Justice Roundtable, the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, the Nexus Project, and Shoulder to Shoulder. The effort seeks to expand education on discrimination, support cross-community leaders, and safeguard free speech rights, with a nuanced approach to defining antisemitism.
