Southeast 2021 Fundraising Campaign Landing Page

The Campaign

We are thrilled to share that our 2021 end of year campaign received over $300,000 that will be used to support teachers in using the lessons of the past to meet the challenges of the future.

With your support, Facing History will continue to create new curriculum and trainings to help teachers address contemporary antisemitism in the classroom, find ways to reach new communities across the country, and build our current events resources. We will continue to Face History together—and together we will create the next generation of leaders who will build a world based on knowledge and compassion.
