The Amadeu Antonio Foundation is one of Germany's leading independent non-governmental organizations dedicated to strengthening democratic civil society and combating neo-Nazism, right-wing extremism, antisemitism, racism and other forms of bigotry and hate in Germany. Since its founding in 1998, the Foundation has supported more than 1,800 projects and campaigns towards these goals. It provides direct support to victims of hate-based violence and fosters alternative youth cultures and community networks to strengthen social resilience against intolerance and racism. Additionally, the Foundation actively combats online hate and other forms of group-focused enmity, while promoting the development of a democratic digital civil society.

Beyond grant-making, the Foundation helps local projects expand their grassroots efforts, build networks, and form coalitions with other initiatives. It also runs its own model projects to draw attention to overlooked but critical issues, such as examining the role of women and gender in right-wing contexts, and studying the lasting effects of divergent approaches to Nazi-era and Holocaust education and remembrance in former West and East Germany.

Increasingly, the Foundation leverages its profile and resources to expand its role beyond Germany. Developing strategic partnerships in the United States and around Europe, the Foundation hopes to tackle international challenges with the same commitment and success it has demonstrated at home.
