Dedicated to a Civil Society and a Democratic Culture

The Amadeu Antonio Foundation acts in response to the everyday neo-Nazi "culture" that has established itself in eastern Germany and to the enormous increase in neo-Nazi activities in western Germany.  Despite these developments, there is little public discussion of neo-Nazi and other racist hate groups.  Rarely do the media pick up on this problem, even though people continue to be insulted, threatened, attacked, and even killed.  For the Amadeu Antonio Foundation it is important to point out the dangers posed by neo-Nazis and to bring this central problem to the public’s attention.

The goal of the Foundation is to strengthen civil society and to promote a civil society that confronts the problem decisively.  To do this, the Foundation supports initiatives and projects that continually combat neo-Nazism, racism, and anti-Semitism; projects that promote a more democratic culture; and ones that advocate and protect minority rights.  However, the most important job of the Amadeu Antonio Foundation is to provide financial support to activists who want to start their own local projects.

The Foundation funds such projects directly and in a straightforward manner and distributes funds to places where help is most urgently needed.  For examplea victims' advocacy center, youths who initiate democratic projects in their school, or youths who get others involved through multicultural workshops are eligible for the Foundation’s support.

The Foundation’s priorities for funding include:

1. Youth and schools
2. Assistance for victims
3. Promoting an alternative youth culture
4. Cooperative networking
