Description
Since 1996, RPF has funded The Blue Card, Inc., an organization established in 1934 to aid refugees of Nazi persecution resettling in America. Blue Card is the only national nonprofit organization that provides critical cash assistance to Holocaust survivors in need, allowing them to live with dignity and respect. Since its founding, the Blue Card has distributed more than $45 million to help financially insecure survivors pay for food, medication, rent, and other necessities. In 2024, they provided resources to 3,000+ Holocaust survivor households across 35 states. In the year ahead, they will expand their trauma-informed resources to reduce the impact of isolation on survivors’ mental health and continue Holocaust education programming to keep their stories alive.
