Rosenberg Fund For Children
Category: Children, Youth & Families
DescriptionThe Fund provides support for the educational and emotional needs of children of targeted progressive activists and youth who are targeted activists themselves. The Fund defines “targeted” as someone who, as a result of their activism has: lost a job; suffered physical or mental injury or disability; been harassed or discriminated against; been imprisoned; or died. The Fund defines “progressive activities” as actions taken to further the beliefs that: all people have equal worth; people are more important than profits; world peace is a necessity; and society must function within ecologically sustainable limits. The Fund supports institutions and individual providers who support the aforementioned values. The Fund awards four types of grants: regular grants for children age 18 and younger who are the children of targeted activist and targeted activist youth; Carry It Forward grants to assist beneficiaries age 19 to 24 with the cost of books and supplies associated with post-high school education and training; special development grants of up to $1,000 a year for targeted activist youth ages 18 to 24 to further their education, support their emotional needs, or develop their organizing skills: and Attica Fund Prison Visit Awards to allow children and youth up to age 24 to visit activist parents from whom they have been separated because the parent is imprisoned. Additional information can be found on the Web site.
