Fund for Co-Existence

As with his profits from Schindler's List, Steven Spielberg earmarked his profits from the film Munich to charity. A portion of those profits were used to establish a Fund for Co-Existence.

Launched in 2006, the Fund supports co-existence efforts focused on the United States and the Middle East that help to: 1) support efforts that humanize the "other" by lending insight into another's experience; and/or 2) amplifying the voices of those working towards common ground and understanding.

Three years later, the fund has supported a diverse range of projects, with priority given to those efforts which leverage media (television, film, radio) and technology as a way to achieve the above goals. The Fund also supports efforts which bring people of different backgrounds together around a shared purpose and over a sustained period of time.

Letters of Inquiry for the Fund for Coexistence are accepted twice a year: by June 1 and December 1. Please see How to Apply for what information should be included in a LOI.
