Why Your Gift Matters

  • ✽

    Your gift creates space for honest conversations.

    We bring people together in schools, faith communities, businesses, civic organizations, and other community settings to have respectful conversations about history, discrimination, and the divisions that continue to affect our communities.

  • ✽

    Your gift helps bring history to life.

    Through A Binding Truth, presentations, videos, discussion groups, and other educational programs, we use the story of two connected families to encourage people to look honestly at the past and consider what it means for us today.

  • ✽

    Your gift helps people move from knowledge to understanding.

    Learning history is important—but creating opportunities to listen, reflect, and talk with one another can help turn knowledge into greater empathy and understanding.

  • ✽

    Your gift supports communities doing this work.

    The Foundation seeks to provide methods, models, and discussion tools that communities can use to address the wounds of discrimination and find common ground.

  • ✽

    Your gift helps build a more informed future.

    By supporting accurate historical understanding and constructive community engagement, you help create opportunities for future generations to learn from the past rather than be divided by it.
