Soros' Open Society Foundations Commit $30M to Groups Fighting Antisemitism and Anti-Muslim Hate
The funding will support interfaith partnerships, education and lawful free expression as hate against Jewish and Muslim communities rises, the foundation said.
- On Wednesday, Open Society Foundations pledged $30 million toward groups fighting antisemitism and anti-Muslim hate over three years, aiming to strengthen interfaith partnerships amid rising violence coinciding with the Israel-Hamas war.
- Alex Soros, who assumed leadership of the foundations in 2022, noted that "discrimination and hate" are personal issues for him as the son of a Holocaust survivor and husband to a Muslim American.
- Recipients include the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, the Nexus Project, and the Jewish Social Justice Roundtable; Amy Spitalnick, CEO of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, welcomed the integrated approach to addressing both forms of bigotry.
- The initiative supports Shoulder to Shoulder, which prepares religious leaders to address anti-Muslim discrimination, responding to record levels of deadly violence against Jews worldwide documented by Tel Aviv University.
- These efforts complement the $25 million "Stand Up to Jewish Hate" campaign launched by Robert Kraft in March 2023, though the announcement follows reports of potential Justice Department scrutiny regarding the foundation.
