The Morton K. and Jane Blaustein Foundation aims to support individuals in living in a safe and healthy environment, enjoying fundamental civil and political rights. It particularly focuses on addressing institutionalized racism, xenophobia, and the effects of climate change, especially on people of color and low-income communities.
The International Human Rights Program Area of the Jacob and Hilda Blaustein Foundation aligns with the founders' commitment to universal rights. It primarily funds U.S.-based organizations working on international human rights issues, focusing on advancing women's and reproductive rights, protecting the rights of refugees and asylum seekers, and supporting programs that foster leadership development, capacity-building, and training. The Foundation typically avoids supporting initiatives targeting a single country or region.
