Activities

In 2011 the Fund provided a four-year $12.5 million grant to the Shalem Center to form an American-style liberal arts university in Israel, now Shalem College. The fund had supported the Shalem Center for the previous decade as well.[6]

The Tikvah Fund has funded several publications, including Commentary, Mosaic and its predecessor Jewish Ideas Daily, the Jewish Review of Books,[4] and Mida[7]

The Fund also organizes the Jewish Leadership Conference, a politically conservative Jewish conference.[8] Invitees in 2022 included Mike Pompeo, who served as Secretary of State under Donald Trump, former Israeli Ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer, and Governor of Florida Ron DeSantis.[1] Picketers attended to oppose DeSantis' speech.[9]

Leadership

Robert Hertog was chairman of the Tikvah Fund in 2011.[6] Neal Kozodoy was senior director as of 2010.[10] As of 2022, Eric Cohen was chief executive and Elliot Abrams was chairman.[1][3]
