The Leo and Libby Nevas Family Foundation, a JFN member organization, has launched a new grant program to address urgently the rapid rise of bigotry and hate speech aimed at a broad spectrum of minorities during the recent campaign and following the election. These minorities include populations defined by religion, ethnicity, race, national origin, immigration status, gender, sexual orientation and others.
The Foundation intends to make grants totaling up to $250,000 focused on addressing the rising tide of bigotry. This first set of grants are intended to be a short-term and encourage and support immediate collaborations to speak out, communicate, activate, mobilize and catalyze an urgent, immediate response.
