about

Many of the gravest injustices in human history — subjugation, slavery and genocide — have resulted from people's fears of those who are "different" and their susceptibility to believing they are somehow superior to others. We see these signs all around us today.

tolerance.fund is dedicated to supporting efforts that:

  • fight hate and bigotry;

  • promote tolerance, understanding, and respect; and

  • pursue equality and justice for all people.



tolerance.fund is inspired by the life and legacy of Mira Ryczke Kimmelman, who was committed to teaching people of all ages and walks of life about the Holocaust through her story of survival. Her two books and hundreds of speeches touched countless lives. Her irrepressible spirit, virtue, and generosity enriched all who knew her.

tolerance.fund gives grants and other support to 501(c)(3) organizations.

It does not solicit funding.
