About Anti-Defamation League Foundation
The Anti-defamation League Foundation’s recent grants are concentrated in support for the Anti-defamation League itself, with funding tied to the ADL For Good Campaign, spin-off from endowments, and general support. The largest recent grant in the data is $15,673,712 in 2025 to Anti-defamation League in New York, followed by $9,815,678 in 2023 for the ADL For Good Campaign and $5,821,258 in 2023 from endowment income. That pattern shows a funder channeling substantial resources into organizational support rather than a wide external grant portfolio. The foundation’s giving also includes recurring support across multiple years. Anti-defamation League appears in every listed recent grant, with awards in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Two of the 2024 grants continue campaign and endowment-linked support, while another 2024 award is designated general support. The foundation’s stated purpose is to stop the defamation of the Jewish people and to secure justice and fair treatment for all, and its active programs include Kulanu and Belfer Fellows, which point to work on antisemitism, hate prevention, and online hate. In practice, the funder’s profile is shaped by long-running internal support for ADL’s operations, campaigns, and affiliated programs rather than dispersed grantmaking across many grantees.
What Anti-Defamation League Foundation Funds
On antisemitism, the foundation supports both campaign and programmatic work. The ADL Kulanu program is described as supporting initiatives aligned with ADL’s work to combat antisemitism, bias, and hate, and the synagogue-based Kulanu network invites synagogue professionals, clergy, or lay leaders to join with congregation support. Technology and online hate are another clear theme. The Belfer Fellows Program, administered by ADL’s Center for Technology & Society, advances work on online hate, digital citizenship, and related research and advocacy. A related Belfer Fellows track is described as supporting fellows to conduct research and implement projects for public benefit. The foundation also supports organizational sustainability. Recent grants to Anti-defamation League include funding labeled ADL For Good Campaign, spin-off from endowments, spin-off of endowment income, and general support, showing that core operating and campaign needs are a major part of the grantmaking pattern.
