Mission & Milestones
The Foundation To Combat Antisemitism
In 2019, the rising tide of Jewish hate and all hate in America galvanized Robert Kraft to focus his entrepreneurial and philanthropic efforts to establish the Foundation to Combat Antisemitism (FCAS). Our mission is to uniquely reach unengaged non-Jewish Americans, moving them to become active allies in the fight against hate.
We do this through a fact-based, non-confrontational, and actionable approach that addresses the root cause of Jewish hate and all hate at scale.
