Description
1) Objective
The Swiss-based Anne Frank Foundation (AFF) was founded 1963 by Otto Frank. Its purpose is to promote charitable works and to play a social and cultural role in the spirit of Anne Frank. The Foundation therefore promotes projects that contribute to a better understanding between societies and religions, play a part in encouraging peace between people and nationalities, and promote international contact among young people. The Foundation also operates the ‘Medical Fund for the Righteous’ that provides medical aid to individuals in former Eastern Bloc states (e.g. dispatch of medical supplies or assistive devices).
Grants are issued in the following areas, in particular:
- Education against racism, anti-Semitism, discrimination, prejudice and violence
- Support of human rights, in particular women’s and children’s rights
- Education of children and teenagers
- Dialogue across cultures, ethnic groups and religions
- Peacebuilding
- Refugee relief
- Holocaust survivors
2) Eligibility
Projects outside Switzerland will, as a general rule, only be supported upon recommendation of a Swiss institution listed in the register of commerce and recognised as charitable (NGOs, foundations, associations, etc.), or by trustworthy private persons. Such institutions or persons must be familiar with the project abroad and ready to submit the application on its behalf under their own name and to vouch for its proper implementation.
3) Location
They have no defined focus countries. Outside Switzerland, projects are currently funded in Israel, Tibet and Nepal, Romania, India, and Peru.
