Here we would like to thank the many people who fund our work through their generosity, in both time and money, to keep us moving forward. Every gift is appreciated, and put to work.

The following organizations have provided leadership, strategic advice, information, and networking to help us learn and develop as a heritage organization. Most have also given their time and labor to assist us with tactical efforts, some since the very beginning of our program. None of these partnerships is formal, which makes us all the more grateful for the engagement of the representatives who have worked with us.

Donors

Generous friends, colleagues, and family have donated money and time to help cover the costs of Jewish headstone recovery work in Rohatyn since we first discovered the need in 2011, and more recently to support larger projects such as the Jewish mass grave survey planned for 2017. We are humbled by the quick and easy help so many people have provided. In addition to the people we are very pleased to acknowledge here, we remember many others who have given anonymously to support our work.
