Building Structures for Combating Antisemitism
Working together against antisemitism: The EVZ Foundation's funding program aims to establish targeted contact persons for antisemitism prevention in institutions. Ranging from sports and the working world to the media, culture and civil society. Funding is provided for the setup, expansion and enhancement of systematic and institutional action and intervention skills.
Together with accompanying projects and activities, our funding program strengthens institutions and organizational structures by creating and expanding contact points for antisemitism prevention. At the same time, we establish sustainable structures that actively combat antisemitic incidents and discrimination, support those affected, and develop their own formats for critically examining antisemitism. Among the project sponsors are umbrella organizations, sports associations, environmental protection organizations, trade unions, cooperatives, interest groups, cultural institutions and universities.
Combating antisemitism is a task for all areas of society. Civil society plays an immensely important role in this regard. The new program of the EVZ Foundation will help clubs, associations and other institutions in a very concrete way in the fight against everyday hatred of Jews and create sustainable antisemitic critical structures. I warmly appreciate this innovative approach.
The EVZ Foundation works according to the definition of antisemitism of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA): www.stiftung-evz.de/en/antisemitism.
