Who We Are

Picture
​Our Mission
Our primary mission is engaging descendants and other supporters to protect and commemorate the surviving sites (e.g., cemeteries and synagogues) and monuments of Jewish cultural heritage in Poland. A major beneficiary of our work is the Poland-based "Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage in Poland", also known as FODŻ.

Why We Were Founded
In 2015 FODŻ began its "Adopt a Cemetery" program under which descendants worldwide were encouraged to take a personal interest in their ancestral cemetery and spearhead projects to protect and restore their cemetery of concern. To provide a bridge to support descendants in the US and worldwide to FODŻ and other non-profit organizations in Poland, we have followed this model since our founding in 2016. We are registered in the USA as an independent, non=profit organization in 2016. We are an IRS-approved 501 (c) (3) public charity qualified to receive tax-deductible gifts and we continue to be "Candid GOLD Seal of Transparency"-certified with all online donations securely protected.
