Righteous Persons Foundation

OUR VISION THE RIGHTEOUS PERSONS FOUNDATION LIVES WHERE JEWISH LIFE MEETS ART, CULTURE, MEDIA, BEAUTY, JUSTICE, AND JOY. Deeply moved by the experience of directing Schindler’s List, Steven Spielberg donated his portion of the film’s profits to build and support a meaningful and relevant Jewish community. To that end, he and Kate Capshaw established the Righteous Persons Foundation (RPF), which has made more than $100 million in grants—and been supported by additional profits from the films Munich and Lincoln. For more than two decades, RPF has funded innovative approaches that inspire activism for social justice, help bring people together across lines of difference; unlock the power of art and storytelling; make Jewish history and tradition more accessible; and ensure that the moral lessons of the Holocaust are not forgotten.
