Funding for Imapct
Keeping history alive. Challenging hatred. Inspiring understanding. Education is at the heart of everything we do at the Association of Jewish Refugees.
A Leading Voice in Holocaust Education
The AJR is proud to be the UK’s largest dedicated funder of Holocaust education programmes and projects.
Through funding, partnerships, and advocacy, we support powerful programmes that deepen understanding of the Holocaust, confront antisemitism, and ensure that the lessons of history remain relevant for generations to come.
We support a wide range of initiatives across the country—from schools and universities to museums, charities, and grassroots organisations—all working to ensure that the history of the Holocaust is taught with accuracy, depth, and sensitivity.
Our aim is not only to educate, but to empower people of all ages and backgrounds to engage meaningfully with this history.
Investing in Impact
We believe that education must lead to meaningful change.
That’s why we prioritise programmes that demonstrate clear, measurable impact—whether in classrooms, communities, or public life. We work closely with our partners to understand outcomes, evaluate success, and continually strengthen the work we support.
This approach allows us to invest not just in activity, but in lasting influence.
Remembering Together
Education and remembrance go hand in hand.
Alongside our support for learning programmes, AJR has a long and proud history of funding Holocaust remembrance projects across the UK. From national commemorations to local community initiatives, we help ensure that the stories, experiences, and contributions of Jewish refugees and Holocaust survivors remain visible and understood.
We also recognise Britain’s role in this history—before, during, and after the Holocaust—and support work that explores and preserves this important national narrative.
Building Understanding for the Future
Holocaust education is not only about the past – it shapes how we understand the present and the choices we make for the future.
Through our work, we aim to foster:
- Greater awareness and critical thinking
- Empathy and responsibility
- A stronger stand against antisemitism and all forms of hatred
